Summary:
The city of Fairchance, Pennsylvania has only one school, A L Wilson Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Albert Gallatin Area School District. While the school has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the district and state averages.
A L Wilson Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1,053 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,090 out of 1,534 in 2021-2022. The school's PSSA test scores are below the district and state averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 100%, indicating a significant portion of its student population comes from low-income families.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively high per-student spending level and a low student-teacher ratio. This suggests that the school may not be effectively allocating its resources to address the specific needs of its student population. The fact that A L Wilson Elementary School is part of a low-performing school district and is ranked relatively low among Pennsylvania elementary schools indicates that the challenges faced by the school may be reflective of broader systemic issues in the region.
