With a total enrollment of 532 students, the school's academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, ranking in the bottom 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.
The school's PSSA test scores have consistently remained low, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 40.8% compared to state averages of 28.6% to 77.1%. Additionally, the school has a concerning 1.6% dropout rate and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance. Factors such as the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (91.92%) and the higher-than-average per-student spending ($20,311) suggest the school may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that are impacting its ability to provide a quality education.
Given the consistently low academic performance and the potential challenges faced by the school, there is a clear need for intervention and support to help improve the educational outcomes for its students. This could involve targeted professional development for teachers, additional resources and support for students, and collaboration with community organizations to address the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the school's performance.
