Summary:
The New Brighton Area School District has one elementary school, New Brighton Area Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has 609 students. The school district is ranked 403 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
New Brighton Area Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as science proficiency, where its 4th-grade students scored 78.6% proficient compared to the state average of 77.1%. However, the school's math proficiency rates are below the state average across all grade levels, with 3rd-grade students scoring 39.2% proficient compared to 51.4% statewide. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are closer to the state average, with 3rd-grade students scoring 58.1% proficient compared to 55.8% statewide.
The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 100% suggests a high-need student population, which may contribute to the lower-than-average math and ELA proficiency rates. The school district's higher-than-average spending per student ($16,334) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.9) could indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students. Despite these efforts, the school's overall ranking and 2-out-of-5-star rating by SchoolDigger suggest there is room for improvement in the school's academic performance, particularly in math.
