Summary:
The Apollo-Ridge School District has only one elementary school, Apollo-Ridge Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 513 students. While the school's overall academic performance is below the state averages, it stands out in 4th-grade science proficiency, where its rate of 79.3% exceeds the state average of 77.1%. However, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts for all grades are below the state averages.
The high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $20,186 is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.7 is lower, suggesting that the district is allocating resources to support the students. The school's ranking and rating have remained relatively consistent over the past three school years, indicating stable performance.
Overall, while Apollo-Ridge Elementary School faces academic performance challenges, the district appears to be making efforts to address the needs of its students through resource allocation and targeted support. The school's standout performance in 4th-grade science proficiency is a positive indicator, and the district's commitment to the school is evident in its higher-than-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio.
