Conemaugh Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Conemaugh Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 392 students in grades PK-6 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Greater Johnstown School District. The school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly white (87.5%) and from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (100% receive free or reduced-price lunch).

Academically, Conemaugh Valley Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and nearby schools on PSSA assessments, with only 25.6% of students proficient or better in Math and 44.7% proficient or better in English Language Arts. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Windber Elementary, United Elementary, and Richland Elementary, which all have significantly higher academic achievement. Conemaugh Valley Elementary's statewide ranking has also seen a steady decline, from 657 out of 1,544 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,117 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The racial makeup of Conemaugh Valley Elementary is not representative of the surrounding area, with a much higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools. This could indicate issues with equity and access for minority students. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds is likely a significant factor in its academic underperformance. Overall, Conemaugh Valley Elementary faces significant challenges that will require targeted interventions and strategies to address the needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.
