Summary:
The city of Klingerstown, Pennsylvania has only one public elementary school, Mahantongo Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Tri-Valley School District. The district is ranked 421 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating the district as a whole may be facing challenges in providing high-quality education to its students.
Mahantongo Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages, with math proficiency below the state average but above the district average, science proficiency above both the district and state averages, and English Language Arts proficiency below the state average but close to the district average. The school has maintained relatively consistent performance over the past three school years, suggesting stability in its educational practices and resources. However, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The school's resource allocation, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $12,206, suggests a focus on smaller class sizes and potentially other educational initiatives. While these resources may be beneficial, without additional context, it's difficult to determine if the resource allocation is effectively improving student outcomes. Overall, Mahantongo Elementary School appears to be performing reasonably well within its district context, but faces some challenges in meeting state-level academic standards, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.
