Summary:
The Aliquippa School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Aliquippa Elementary School, which serves a diverse student population with significant economic challenges. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently and significantly lower than the state averages, ranking it among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania.
Aliquippa Elementary School's student population is predominantly African American (64.77%), with smaller percentages of White (11.81%), Hispanic (7.59%), and students of two or more races (15.61%). The school has a high rate of students (85.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the district's relatively high spending of $23,054 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's academic performance remains poor, with proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts well below the state averages.
The school's consistently low rankings and ratings, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 1489 out of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2022-2023 school year, suggest that the school has been struggling to improve its performance and address the underlying challenges it faces. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and socioeconomic factors within the school and the broader Aliquippa School District.
