Elementary Schools in Southmoreland School District


Summary:

The Southmoreland School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: Southmoreland Elementary School and Southmoreland Primary Center. While both schools serve the same district, they exhibit some notable differences in their student demographics, academic performance, and resource allocation.

Southmoreland Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance in PSSA Math and Science, outpacing the district and state averages. However, its PSSA English Language Arts scores are more mixed, with some grades exceeding the benchmarks and others falling behind. In contrast, Southmoreland Primary Center has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a greater economic need in the community it serves. Additionally, the Primary Center has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its higher per-student spending compared to the Elementary School.

Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white. This lack of racial diversity may be an area for the district to explore and address, as diversity can enhance the educational experience for students. Overall, the analysis of the Southmoreland School District elementary schools reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, providing valuable insights for the district to consider as they work to support the academic and social-emotional needs of their students.
