Summary:
The city of Sheffield, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Sheffield M/High School and Sheffield Area Elementary School, both part of the Warren County School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are situated in a community with high levels of economic disadvantage.
Sheffield M/High School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio, high 4-year graduation rate of 93.7%, and low dropout rate of 0.4% - all significantly better than district and state averages. However, its students perform below district and state levels on most PSSA math and ELA tests, though they excel in Keystone Exams, particularly in Literature. Sheffield Area Elementary School also has a favorable student-teacher ratio, but its students consistently lag behind district and state averages on PSSA math and ELA tests, with the largest gaps in 3rd and 4th grade math.
Both schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating significant economic challenges in the Sheffield community. While the high graduation rate and low dropout rate at the high school suggest the school is supporting students well, the consistently low academic performance at the elementary level is a concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. Overall, the data paints a mixed picture of the schools in Sheffield, with some bright spots but also areas that need improvement to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
