Case Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Case Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 484 students in grades K-6 in the Sharon City School District in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The school faces several key challenges, including lower-than-average academic performance, significant racial disparities in student achievement, and a high concentration of students from low-income families.

While Case Avenue Elementary School's overall academic performance ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, the school stands out for its strong performance among African American students, who rank in the top 25% of the state. However, the school's White and multi-racial students perform in the bottom 25% and bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively, indicating significant racial disparities in academic achievement. The school's proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the state and district averages, with the exception of a higher-than-average Science proficiency rate.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby elementary schools in the same district, such as Musser Elementary and West Hill Elementary, Case Avenue Elementary School performs at a similar or slightly lower level. However, the nearby Mercer Area Elementary School, which is in a different district, significantly outperforms Case Avenue in academic measures, suggesting that factors beyond just the school district may be at play. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, the data suggests that the school and district may need to re-evaluate their instructional strategies and support systems to better serve all students and address these persistent issues.

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.
