Summary:
The 15469 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Springfield Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Connellsville Area School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1081 out of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1115 out of 1534 in 2022-2023 and 1008 out of 1526 in 2023-2024.
Academically, Springfield Elementary School's performance is generally below the Connellsville Area School District and Pennsylvania state averages across the PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts assessments. The school's strongest area is in PSSA Science, where it exceeds the district and state averages for all grades and 4th grade. However, its weakest performance is in PSSA Math, where it lags behind the district and state averages for all grades and each individual grade level.
The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of its students qualifying for free and reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While the district appears to be investing resources into the school, these investments have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that the school may need more targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of its student population and improve its overall academic performance.
