Summary:
The Sayre Area School District has only one elementary school, Snyder Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 468 students. While the school's performance on PSSA tests is generally below the state average, with math proficiency at 27.3% compared to 40.4% statewide and ELA proficiency at 40.9% compared to 53% statewide, the school's science proficiency of 77.6% is higher than the state average of 65.8%.
Snyder Elementary School faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 100%, indicating a very economically disadvantaged population. The district's per-student spending of $17,508 for the 2021-2022 school year is higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this level of funding is adequate to address the needs of the school's student population. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is slightly lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in terms of providing more individualized attention to students.
Overall, the data suggests Snyder Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and potential funding constraints are all areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
