Summary:
Port Allegany School District has a single Port Allegany Elementary School serving students in grades K-6. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1043 out of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1101 out of 1526 in 2023-2024, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite higher per-student spending of $14,948 for the 2021-2022 school year, which is above the state average, Port Allegany Elementary School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of 6th-grade ELA proficiency, which is slightly higher. However, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Science, particularly in 4th grade, are higher than the state average.
The school serves a student population with significant economic challenges, with 99.58% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is slightly lower than the state average, the data suggests that the school may need to explore targeted strategies and interventions to address the specific needs of its students and improve overall academic performance.
