Summary:
The Connellsville Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of economic disadvantage, the data reveals stark differences in academic performance among them.
Bullskin Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates in subjects like science, English language arts, and math compared to the other schools and the district and state averages. In contrast, West Crawford Elementary School and Springfield Elementary School lag behind, with proficiency rates well below the state benchmarks.
Despite the differences in academic achievement, all 4 elementary schools in the Connellsville Area School District serve a highly economically disadvantaged student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching practices and school leadership, may be contributing to the performance gaps observed across the district. The data provides valuable insights that could inform efforts to improve educational outcomes for all students in the Connellsville Area School District.
