Summary:
The Littlestown Area School District has one elementary school, Alloway Creek Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past three years, with its SchoolDigger rating dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars. While the school's PSSA Math and Science proficiency rates are generally on par with or above the state averages, its PSSA English Language Arts proficiency rate is below the state average.
Alloway Creek Elementary School has a student population of 790 and a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 47.22%. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $13,496, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.7 for the 2022-2023 school year. These factors suggest that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance and resource needs.
Despite the school's overall declining performance, its strong PSSA Science proficiency rates, significantly higher than the state average, indicate a potential area of strength that could be further explored and leveraged. The school's unique context within the Littlestown Area School District warrants further investigation to better understand the factors contributing to its performance and resource allocation, with the goal of supporting improvement efforts and ensuring the best possible educational outcomes for its students.
