Best Public Schools in Renfrew, PA

Summary:

The city of Renfrew, Pennsylvania is home to a single standout elementary school, Connoquenessing Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Butler Area School District. Connoquenessing Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting significantly higher student performance on standardized tests compared to district and state averages.

With a student-teacher ratio of 15.2, Connoquenessing Elementary provides a relatively favorable learning environment. The school's student population is predominantly white (97%), suggesting a lack of diversity that may be an area for the district to address. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (29.67%) indicates it serves a relatively affluent community, which could raise concerns about equity and access to quality education for students from lower-income families within the district.

Despite these potential equity concerns, Connoquenessing Elementary's academic excellence and efficient resource allocation, with spending of $15,676 per student, make it a standout institution in the region. The school's consistently high performance on standardized tests and its 5-star rating from SchoolDigger demonstrate its ability to provide a quality education and effectively prepare its students for academic success.
