Summary:
The city of Masontown, Pennsylvania has only one public elementary school, Masontown Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 249 students. The school is part of the Albert Gallatin Area School District, which is ranked 401 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.
Masontown Elementary School's academic performance is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math were 26.1% for all grades, compared to 35.2% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts were also lower, at 37.5% for all grades, compared to 47.1% for the district and 53% for the state. The school's Science proficiency rates were slightly better, at 51.6% for all grades, but still lower than the district and state averages.
The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% for the 2022-2023 school year, indicates that the student population comes from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, as students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to learning and educational attainment. The school's consistently low academic performance and high poverty levels suggest that it may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population.
