Carnegie Elementary School

Summary:

Carnegie Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 359 students in grades K-6 in the Carlynton School District in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (60.72%), along with significant populations of Asian (10.03%), African American (10.58%), and students of two or more races (13.93%).

While the school spends significantly more per student ($19,266) than the Pennsylvania average ($16,513), its academic performance has been consistently below average, ranking 998 out of 1,534 elementary schools in the state and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school performs better for certain student subgroups, such as low socioeconomic status students and disabled students, who rank 534 out of 1,414 and 444 out of 1,043, respectively. Notably, the school's White students rank only 1,009 out of 1,236, indicating potential equity issues that need to be addressed.

Compared to nearby schools in the Keystone Oaks, Mt. Lebanon, and Chartiers Valley school districts, Carnegie Elementary School significantly underperforms, with higher-performing schools in the surrounding area. This suggests that Carnegie Elementary may have opportunities to learn from the strategies and approaches of its higher-performing peers, despite the school's high poverty rates and significant per-student spending.

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.
