Best Public Schools in New Ringgold, PA

The city of New Ringgold, Pennsylvania has only one school, West Penn Township Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is part of the Tamaqua Area School District.

West Penn Township Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with over 92% of students identifying as white.

The school's per-student spending of $11,917 is the only financial data point provided, making it difficult to draw conclusions about the adequacy or efficiency of the school's funding. More detailed financial information would be needed to fully assess this aspect. Overall, while West Penn Township Elementary School is the sole educational institution in New Ringgold, there are opportunities for the school to improve its academic performance and address areas of concern, such as racial diversity and overall school ranking.
