New Kensington-Arnold School District


Summary:

The New Kensington-Arnold School District in Pennsylvania serves 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the district, with the high school and some elementary schools struggling to meet state standards, while others, like Roy A. Hunt Elementary School, demonstrate stronger academic results.

Roy A. Hunt Elementary stands out with the highest PSSA test scores in Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the other elementary schools and the district average. However, it also has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-need student population. In contrast, Martin School has the lowest spending per student at $13,782 and the highest free and reduced lunch rate at 99.35%, suggesting it serves an economically disadvantaged community.

The data also reveals significant challenges at the high school level, with Valley Junior/Senior High School having significantly lower test scores compared to state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. This disparity in academic performance between the elementary and high school levels suggests that students in the New Kensington-Arnold School District may not be receiving equitable educational opportunities.
