Summary:
The Farrell Area School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Farrell Area Elementary School/LMS and Farrell Area High School/UMS. Both schools have consistently low performance metrics compared to state averages, with the elementary school ranked 1,354 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and the high school ranked 647 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools.
The schools in the Farrell Area School District face significant challenges, including very low proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts, as well as high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. The district's overall ranking is 574 out of 610 in Pennsylvania, suggesting systemic issues that need to be addressed.
Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, the performance remains poor, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the district. The lack of significant improvement in the schools' rankings and metrics over the past few years suggests a need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach to addressing the root causes of the low performance in the Farrell Area School District.
