Summary:

Pittsburgh Grandview K-5 has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments across all subjects and grade levels. The school serves a predominantly African American student population (69.1%), which is significantly higher than the nearby schools like Pittsburgh Whittier K-5 and Pittsburgh Beechwood K-5. Additionally, 100% of the students at Pittsburgh Grandview K-5 qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at the school, ranging from $21,966 to $28,986 in recent years, the academic performance has not improved.

When compared to the nearby schools, Pittsburgh Grandview K-5 stands out for its consistently low academic performance, high percentage of African American students, and high poverty levels. The school's challenges suggest that addressing the underlying issues may require a more comprehensive approach beyond just increased funding. Families considering Pittsburgh Grandview K-5 should carefully weigh these factors and explore other educational options in the Pittsburgh School District, such as Urban Pathways K-5 College Charter School, which may offer a different learning environment and better academic outcomes for their children.

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.
