Best Public Schools in Sligo, PA

Summary:

The city of Sligo, Pennsylvania has only one school serving grades K-5 - Sligo Elementary School. This school has a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white. Academically, Sligo Elementary School performs below the state average in math and English language arts proficiency, though its 4th grade science proficiency is higher than the state average.

Despite its lower academic performance, Sligo Elementary School has relatively high funding and resources, spending $12,373 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1. However, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (99.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.

Overall, Union School District, which oversees Sligo Elementary School, has work to do to improve the academic performance and racial diversity of the school. With its low ranking of 991 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Sligo Elementary School is performing below average compared to other schools in the state, and the district may need to develop strategies to address these issues.
