Best Public Schools in Harrisville, PA

Summary:

The city of Harrisville, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Victory Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Franklin Area School District. With a total enrollment of 223 students, Victory Elementary stands out for its low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, the lowest in the district, as well as its 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Academically, Victory Elementary's performance on PSSA tests is generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in Math ranging from 20% to 40%, compared to the district's 25.4% to 48.7% and the state's 36.4% to 51.7%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 777 out of 1,433 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,088 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023, suggesting a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.

Despite the high spending per student of $18,481, Victory Elementary's academic struggles raise questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to support student success. Additionally, the school's predominantly white student population (94.17%) is not reflective of the diversity often seen in many school districts, further highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities facing this institution within the Harrisville community.
