Summary:
The city of Harrisville, Pennsylvania has only one school, Victory Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Franklin Area School District. Victory Elementary School has consistently performed in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, with significantly below-average test scores in math and English language arts compared to the district and state averages.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1 and higher per-student spending than the state average. However, the school's 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Interestingly, Victory Elementary School's PSSA science scores are higher than the district and state averages, suggesting the school may have strengths in certain subject areas that could be leveraged to improve overall student outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests that Victory Elementary School is facing significant challenges in improving student performance, particularly in math and English language arts. While the school appears to have additional resources, such as a low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, these investments have not yet translated into improved academic achievement. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's performance issues and support the success of its students.
