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 as a whole is ranked 426 out of 610 school districts in the state and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Bullskin Elementary School consistently performs well on PSSA tests, with high proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Dunbar Township Elementary School also demonstrates relatively strong performance, particularly in 3rd grade. Both of these schools have high per-student spending compared to the other schools in the district.

However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. While some elementary schools excel, the high school and middle school struggle to maintain student achievement as students progress through the grades. Additionally, all schools in the district have 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors likely present significant challenges for the district in addressing the educational needs of its students.
