Summary:
The city of Sayre, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Snyder Elementary School and Sayre Area High School, both part of the Sayre Area School District. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with Snyder Elementary having 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Both schools perform below the state average on standardized tests, particularly in math, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement.
Sayre Area High School has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 83.5%, which is below the state average, though its dropout rate of 2.5% is better than the state average. The high school also spends more per student ($19,154) compared to Snyder Elementary ($17,508), but this higher spending does not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes. The racial makeup of both schools is majority white, which may warrant further investigation into issues of equity and support for students of color.
Overall, the data highlights several areas for improvement at these Sayre, Pennsylvania schools, particularly in the domains of academic achievement, graduation and dropout rates, and supporting the needs of their high-poverty student populations. Targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies may be necessary to drive better outcomes for students in this community.
