Summary:
The Southern Fulton School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Southern Fulton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 745 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 915 out of 1,534 in 2021-2022.
While the school's proficiency rates in Math (42.4%) and English Language Arts (58.1%) were above the district and state averages in 2023-2024, its performance in some grade levels was lower than the state average. However, the school's Science proficiency rate (87.6% in 2023-2024) was significantly higher than both the district and state averages, suggesting a particular strength in this subject area. The school's per-student spending of $17,118 for the 2021-2022 school year was higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 12:1 is lower than the state average, indicating efficient resource allocation.
Despite the school's overall performance, the relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 44.62% for the 2022-2023 school year suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which may indicate potential equity challenges that the school and district need to address.
