Summary:
The East Stroudsburg Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to 6 elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant variation in the performance and characteristics of these schools, with some standouts and areas for improvement.
Smithfield Elementary School emerges as the top performer, consistently scoring above district and state averages on PSSA assessments and ranking 615 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools. With the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest per-student spending, Smithfield appears to provide more individualized attention and resources. In contrast, Bushkill Elementary School and J M Hill Elementary School struggle to meet state and district performance standards, suggesting opportunities for improvement.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between school funding and student achievement, with the higher-spending schools generally outperforming their peers. Additionally, the schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for economic disadvantage, tend to have lower academic proficiency. These insights highlight the complex interplay between socioeconomic factors, resource allocation, and educational outcomes within the East Stroudsburg Area School District.
