Best Public Schools in Wilkinsburg, PA


Summary:

The Wilkinsburg Borough School District in Pennsylvania has two elementary schools: Turner Intermediate School and Kelly Primary School. Both schools have consistently low statewide rankings and test scores that are significantly below the state averages, suggesting the district is struggling to provide quality education to its students.

Turner Intermediate School and Kelly Primary School both have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. While Kelly Primary School has a significantly higher spending per student ($32,504) compared to Turner Intermediate School ($16,153), this additional funding does not seem to translate into better academic performance. The student-teacher ratios are similar between the two schools, with Turner Intermediate at 9.8 and Kelly Primary at 9.2.

The data suggests the Wilkinsburg Borough School District may be facing issues of equity, where some schools receive more funding but do not necessarily see better outcomes for their students. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of these challenges and develop strategies to improve student outcomes across the district.
