Summary:
The Penn Hills School District has only one elementary school, Penn Hills Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school is located in a high-poverty area, with 99.92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.
Penn Hills Elementary School is ranked 1150 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the PSSA tests are significantly lower than the state averages, with just 22.4% of students proficient in math, 81.5% in science, and 33.7% in English language arts. Despite a student-teacher ratio of 13.6, which is slightly lower than the state average, the school's academic performance remains a concern.
With per-student spending of $9,149 for the 2021-2022 school year, the school may be underfunded and lacking the resources needed to support its students' academic needs. However, the data suggests that with targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and additional resources, Penn Hills Elementary School has the potential to improve student outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
