Best Public Schools in Point Marion, PA


Summary:

The city of Point Marion, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Albert Gallatin South Middle School and Friendship Hill Elementary School, both part of the Albert Gallatin Area School District. While the middle school has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, the elementary school stands out for its significantly higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to district and state averages.

Friendship Hill Elementary School's academic performance, particularly in 3rd grade, is a bright spot, with students outperforming their peers across the district and state. In contrast, the middle school's test scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state, and others below. Both schools serve a high-need student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The difference in per-student spending between the elementary and middle school ($4,000) may contribute to the varying academic outcomes. Additionally, the relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools suggest a focus on small class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning. Overall, the data provides a nuanced picture of the two schools, with the elementary school emerging as a standout performer and the middle school making progress, but still having room for improvement.
