For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.9% of students at Pittsburgh Langley K-8 were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 26.7% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school's high poverty concentration, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these low test scores.

The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved educational outcomes for the students, raising questions about the efficient use of funds and the need to explore alternative strategies to support student learning at the school.
