Seventh Street School

Summary:

Seventh Street School is an elementary school located in Oil City, Pennsylvania, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 156 students. The school is part of the Oil City Area School District, which is ranked 380 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Seventh Street School has consistently been ranked around the 900th percentile among Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past several years, also receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Seventh Street School's key strengths is its strong performance in PSSA Math and Science, outperforming both the Oil City Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania. In 2023-2024, the school had 41.1% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 35.9% for the district and 40.4% for the state. In PSSA Science, Seventh Street School had an impressive 81.3% proficiency, significantly higher than the district's 69.2% and the state's 65.8%. However, the school lags behind the district and state in PSSA English Language Arts proficiency, suggesting a need to focus on improving literacy and language arts instruction.

Another notable aspect of Seventh Street School is its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is significantly higher than the state average and suggests the school serves a predominantly underprivileged population. Despite this challenge, the school has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,329 to $16,878 over the past several years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.5 to 12.3. These resources may be contributing factors to the school's academic performance, particularly in PSSA Math and Science, and could be worth further investigation to understand how the school is effectively supporting its students.

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.
