Summary:
The Clairton City School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Clairton Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with an enrollment of 389 students. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels, with only 11.2% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math compared to the state average of 40.4%.
Clairton Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school serves a community with high levels of poverty, as 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's poor academic performance, the district is spending a relatively high amount per student ($18,264 in the 2021-2022 school year), raising questions about the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation and the need for a closer examination of how the funds are being used to support student learning.
Overall, the data suggests that Clairton Elementary School is a low-performing school that is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students. Significant interventions and support may be needed to improve the quality of education at the school and address the underlying challenges it faces, such as high poverty levels and low academic achievement.
