Summary:
The Blue Ridge School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Blue Ridge Elementary School. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and has a student population of 495.
Blue Ridge Elementary School stands out for its exceptional performance in Science, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's Math proficiency rates are lower than the state average, suggesting a need to focus on improving Math instruction and support. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and it has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its overall performance.
Unfortunately, the school's ranking and star rating have decreased over the past three years, from 669th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 823rd out of 1,534 in 2022-2023. This declining trend is concerning and warrants further investigation into the underlying causes and potential interventions to improve the school's performance across all subject areas.
