Hasson Heights School consistently outperforms the Oil City Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, Hasson Heights School had 51.5% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 35.9% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school also performed exceptionally well in PSSA Science, with 87.5% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district's 69.2% and the state's 65.8%. Despite having a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Hasson Heights School's performance on PSSA tests for low-income students is significantly better than the state average, ranking in the top 29% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for this subgroup.

Hasson Heights School's strong academic performance is further highlighted by its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Seventh Street School (10.5 students per teacher) and Smedley Street School (10.7 students per teacher), both of which are also part of the Oil City Area School District. This suggests that Hasson Heights School may have unique strengths or practices that contribute to its success, which could provide valuable insights for other schools facing similar challenges.

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.

Open Quote Most of the teachers are very caring. They try to improve the children's self esteem
and promote good work habits.

This is difficult with the administration that is not very cooperative with the teachers in their efforts. Close Quote

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.
