Summary:
The city of Saint Clair, Pennsylvania is home to a single school, the Saint Clair Area El/Middle School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade as part of the Saint Clair Area School District. This school has a predominantly white student population, with a significant portion (67.11%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student body.
Academically, the school's performance on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) is mixed. In math, the school's proficiency rates are generally higher than the state averages in the lower grades, but decline in the upper grades, falling below the state averages. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are a mix, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. However, the school's PSSA science proficiency rates are strong, with 4th-grade students outperforming the state average and 8th-grade students performing on par with the state.
Despite the school's relatively low spending per student ($28 for the 2021-2022 school year), it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3, which may contribute to more personalized attention and support for students. The school also boasts an impressive 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention and engagement. While the school's academic performance is generally strong, particularly in the lower grades, there may be opportunities to further strengthen instructional practices and support systems to ensure consistent growth and achievement for all students.
