Summary:
The Aliquippa School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Aliquippa Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 474 students. Based on the available data, Aliquippa Elementary School appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking in the bottom 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for the past three school years.
The school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates of only 4.9% in Math and 16.5% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at 85.65%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the district's high per-student spending of $23,054, which is significantly higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor.
The consistently low performance, significant gaps in proficiency rates, and high poverty levels at Aliquippa Elementary School suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and resource allocation to address the underlying issues and improve student achievement. The school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1, do not appear to be driving better academic outcomes, indicating that other factors may be contributing to the school's struggles.
