Summary:
The Ridgway Area School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Francis S Grandinetti Elementary School, Ridgway Area High School, and Ridgway Area Middle School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some economic challenges as evidenced by high free and reduced lunch rates.
Ridgway Area Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 12% of Pennsylvania middle schools. It boasts impressive PSSA test scores and a 0.0% dropout rate. In contrast, Francis S Grandinetti Elementary School has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a 4-star to a 2-star rating over the past three years, which warrants further investigation.
While Ridgway Area High School has a respectable 90.9% four-year graduation rate, it struggles with Keystone Exam performance, particularly in Algebra I, where only 21.1% of 11th graders scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34.1%. This indicates a need for the high school to focus on improving its math instruction and support for students in this subject area.
