Summary:
The city of North Versailles, Pennsylvania is home to two schools: Logan Elementary School and East Allegheny Junior/Senior High School. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with a significant proportion of African American and multi-racial students. However, the academic performance of these schools is concerning, as they are consistently underperforming compared to the state averages on various standardized tests.
Neither Logan Elementary School nor East Allegheny Junior/Senior High School can be considered standout schools based on the data provided. Both institutions struggle to meet the state's academic benchmarks, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math, PSSA Science, PSSA English Language Arts, and Keystone Exams falling well below the Pennsylvania averages. For instance, only 22.5% of students at Logan Elementary School are proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%, and just 8.3% of students at East Allegheny Junior/Senior High School are proficient or better in the same subject.
Despite the low academic performance, the schools in the East Allegheny School District appear to have relatively small student-teacher ratios, with 11.5 students per teacher at Logan Elementary School and 11.8 students per teacher at East Allegheny Junior/Senior High School. However, this factor alone does not seem to be translating into improved educational outcomes for the students. Further investigation into the underlying causes of the schools' academic challenges, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, would be necessary to identify potential areas for improvement and support.
