Summary:
The Ambridge Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to three elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Economy Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently outranking the other two schools, Highland Elementary School and State Street Elementary School, on various performance metrics.
Economy Elementary School ranks significantly higher than the other two schools in the district and the state overall on the Statewide School Digger Ranking, as well as on PSSA test scores in math, science, and English language arts. Additionally, Economy Elementary has the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower poverty rate compared to the other schools in the district.
While Economy Elementary stands out, the data also reveals significant disparities in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the three schools. Highland Elementary spends the most per student at $15,488, followed by State Street Elementary at $10,054 and Economy Elementary at $10,508. The student-teacher ratios also vary, with Highland Elementary having the lowest ratio at 12.2, State Street Elementary at 15.1, and Economy Elementary at 15.2. These differences in resource allocation and staffing may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the schools.
