Summary:
The East Stroudsburg Area School District consists of 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students in the East Stroudsburg area. The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like Smithfield Elementary School and East Stroudsburg Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while others struggle to meet state benchmarks.
Academically, the district faces challenges in math proficiency, with most schools scoring below the state average on PSSA Math tests. However, science proficiency is a strength, with several schools performing well above the state average on PSSA Science tests. English Language Arts proficiency is mixed, with some schools exceeding the state average and others falling behind. The district's high schools, East Stroudsburg Senior High School South and East Stroudsburg Senior High School North, have a slightly lower four-year graduation rate compared to the state average, but a lower dropout rate.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges within the district, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48% to 70% across the schools. This suggests the need for targeted support and resources to address the academic performance gaps and ensure equity across the district. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios indicates potential imbalances in resource allocation, which the district may need to examine to provide a more equitable educational experience for all students.
