Summary:
The Burrell School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: Bon Air Elementary School and Stewart Elementary School. Based on the available data, Bon Air Elementary School appears to be the standout performer in the district, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming both the district and state averages in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency.
Bon Air Elementary School boasts higher proficiency rates in both Math and ELA across all grades, with 55.8% Math proficiency and 57.2% ELA proficiency in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 34% and 37.2% respectively. Additionally, Bon Air has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively more affluent student population. Despite spending less per student ($13,950) than Stewart Elementary School ($16,426), Bon Air maintains a higher student-teacher ratio of 15.8, suggesting more resources allocated to smaller class sizes.
In contrast, Stewart Elementary School consistently ranks lower in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, with rankings in the 900s and 1000s, and lags behind Bon Air in both Math and ELA proficiency. The disparity in school performance within the Burrell School District highlights the importance of closely monitoring and understanding the factors that contribute to academic success, as higher spending does not necessarily translate to better outcomes.
