Summary:
The Cornell School District in Pennsylvania has one elementary school, Cornell Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its overall academic performance is below the state average, ranking 967 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools.
Cornell Elementary School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of 3rd grade Math and English Language Arts, where the school outperforms the state. However, the school's 4th grade Science proficiency rate is significantly lower than the state average. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Despite the school's below-average performance, its per-student spending is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources. The school's low student-teacher ratio could be a strength, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the strong performance in certain grade levels suggests the school may have some effective teaching practices or programs that could be leveraged to improve overall academic achievement.
