Best Public Schools in Saltsburg, PA

Summary:

The city of Saltsburg, Pennsylvania is home to a single public elementary school, Saltsburg Elementary School, which serves students in grades PK-5. This standout school ranks in the top 14% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years, thanks to its strong academic performance and other key metrics.

Saltsburg Elementary School's students consistently score well above state and district averages on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments, with particularly high proficiency rates in 4th grade Science. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 likely contributes to this academic success. However, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white (93.81%) and 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage that raise concerns about equity and the equitable distribution of the school's significant per-student funding of $30,727.

Overall, River Valley School District's sole elementary school, Saltsburg Elementary, stands out as a high-performing institution, but the data also highlights potential areas of concern related to diversity and resource allocation that warrant further exploration to ensure all students have access to the support and opportunities they need to thrive.
