Best Public Schools in Russell, PA


Summary:

The city of Russell, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Eisenhower Middle School/High School and Eisenhower Elementary School, both part of the Warren County School District. While the middle/high school has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, the standout performer is Eisenhower Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and boasts significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages.

Eisenhower Elementary School's academic success is particularly evident in its PSSA Math and Science scores, with 62.1% and 86.5% of students, respectively, scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 may contribute to its strong performance. In contrast, Eisenhower Middle School/High School has more mixed results, with test scores lagging behind the district and state in many areas, despite recent improvements in its statewide ranking.

Both schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, Eisenhower Elementary School's academic success despite this factor is noteworthy. The spending differences between the two schools, with the middle/high school spending $21,155 per student compared to $17,497 per student at the elementary school, may be due to additional resources or programs required for older students, but further analysis would be needed to understand the drivers of these differences.
