Summary:
The city of Mayfield, Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Lakeland Elementary School - Mayfield Campus, which serves students from the Lakeland School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, its academic performance appears to be below the state and district averages in several key areas.
Lakeland Elementary School - Mayfield Campus has 275 students and is part of the Lakeland School District, which is ranked 287 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's PSSA test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across Math, Science, and English Language Arts for all grade levels. For example, the school's Math proficiency rates range from 16.3% for 6th grade to 34.2% for 4th grade, compared to the state average of 37.3% to 51.4%. However, the school's Science proficiency rates are higher, with 77.2% for 4th grade, compared to the state average of 77.1%.
Despite the lower academic performance, the school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 60.73%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may contribute to the school's challenges in meeting academic benchmarks. Further investigation into the factors behind the school's performance, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and support programs, could provide insights into areas for improvement and help the school better serve its students.
