Logan Elementary School

Summary:

Logan Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Altoona, Pennsylvania, serving 439 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Altoona Area School District, which is ranked 336 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending in recent years, Logan Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with below-average proficiency rates on PSSA tests across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 41.2% in Math, 65.7% in Science, and 47.2% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 40.4%, 65.8%, and 53%, respectively. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 67.65% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

Comparing Logan Elementary to nearby schools, the academic performance and demographic profiles of other Altoona Area School District schools, such as Mowrie A Ebner Elementary School and Juniata Elementary School, are similar to Logan's. However, some schools within the same district, like Baker Elementary School and Irving Elementary School, significantly outperform Logan on academic measures. Additionally, schools in the neighboring Hollidaysburg Area School District, such as Frankstown Elementary School and Charles W Longer Elementary School, demonstrate much stronger academic performance compared to Logan Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
