Summary:
The 15469 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Springfield Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 304 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it faces academic challenges, with proficiency rates in math and English language arts (ELA) falling below district and state averages.
Springfield Elementary School's math proficiency rate of 35% is lower than the district average of 29.6% and the state average of 39.3%. Similarly, the school's ELA proficiency rate of 37.8% is below the district average of 37.8% and the state average of 53.8%. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 69% is higher than the district (60.4%) and state (65.6%) averages. The school's high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Despite the academic performance concerns, Springfield Elementary School appears to have adequate funding and staffing resources, with a spending per student of $18,981 and a student-teacher ratio of 12.1, both of which are better than national averages. However, the lack of racial/ethnic diversity in the student population may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for an increasingly diverse world. Addressing the underlying issues and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Springfield Elementary School, which is part of the Connellsville Area School District.
