Best Public Schools in Oakmont, PA

Summary:

The city of Oakmont, Pennsylvania is home to two schools: Riverview Junior/Senior High School and Tenth Street Elementary School, both part of the Riverview School District. While Riverview Junior/Senior High School has average performance, Tenth Street Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania.

Tenth Street Elementary School has demonstrated exceptional academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating its consistent excellence. In contrast, Riverview Junior/Senior High School has a more average performance, with PSSA and Keystone Exam proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly below the district averages, but above the state averages in most subject areas.

The data also reveals a significant difference in the schools' free and reduced lunch rates, with Tenth Street Elementary School having a relatively low rate of 4.19% and Riverview Junior/Senior High School having a higher rate of 26.52%. This suggests that the socioeconomic status of the student population may be a contributing factor to the performance gap between the two schools. Additionally, the stark contrast in spending per student between the two schools ($32,797 for Riverview Junior/Senior High School vs. $13,586 for Tenth Street Elementary School) raises questions about the efficiency and allocation of resources within the district.
