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. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 688th to 847th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools, it faces some challenges in terms of academic achievement and socioeconomic factors.
The school's proficiency rates on PSSA tests are mixed compared to state averages, with Math (39.5%) and English Language Arts (38.7%) falling below the state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. However, the school's Science proficiency rate (62.5%) is above the state average of 65.8%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 67.11%, indicating that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges.
Despite these challenges, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3, compared to the state average. However, the school's per-student spending of $28 for the 2021-2022 school year is relatively low, which may limit the resources and opportunities available to students and teachers. Overall, the data suggests that the Saint Clair Area El/Middle School faces a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, and may require targeted interventions and additional support to address its academic and socioeconomic needs.
