Connellsville Area School District

Summary:

The Connellsville Area School District in Pennsylvania operates 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community.

Among the standout schools, Bullskin Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests, as well as the highest 4th grade Science PSSA proficiency. Springfield Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest 3rd grade PSSA Math proficiency rate. However, the district's test scores are generally lower than state averages, with wide gaps in academic performance between the schools, suggesting potential inequities in educational resources and opportunities.

At the high school level, Connellsville Area Senior High School stands out for having a relatively low dropout rate of 3.7%, despite lower test scores and graduation rates compared to state averages. The high school has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from the 353rd best high school in Pennsylvania in 2021-2022 to the 491st in 2022-2023, indicating a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
