Summary:
The city of Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools in the Burrell School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this district serve a predominantly white student population, with some diversity in socioeconomic backgrounds as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates.
Burrell High School stands out as the top performer, with an impressive 95.7% 4-year graduation rate and strong student performance on the Keystone Exams, particularly in Literature. Meanwhile, Bon Air Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with higher-than-average proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts for 3rd-grade students. In contrast, Charles A Huston Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, suggesting potential academic performance issues that the district may need to address.
The data also reveals differences in spending per student, with Burrell High School spending significantly more per student ($17,824) compared to the elementary schools ($13,950 to $16,426). Additionally, the district's lack of racial diversity, with white students making up over 90% of the student population, may be an area for the district to consider addressing to better reflect the diversity of the community.
