The school has consistently outperformed its district and the state of Pennsylvania in academic achievement, particularly in PSSA Math and Science.

Claysville Elementary's strong performance is evident across several key metrics.

In Science, Claysville had 84.9% proficient or better, significantly higher than the district's 70.1% and the state's 65.8%. While the school struggles with its white student population, ranking only 872 out of 1,229 Pennsylvania elementary schools, it performs particularly well for its low socioeconomic status (SES) and disabled student populations, ranking 619 and 525 out of 1,432 and 1,084 schools, respectively.

Claysville Elementary's success can be attributed to its investment in resources, with $16,534 spent per student in 2021-2022, compared to the state average of around $15,000, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby schools, Claysville generally outperforms those with similar demographics, such as Joe Walker Elementary and Borland Manor Elementary. However, it lags behind high-performing schools like Trinity East Elementary and Trinity South Elementary, which may provide valuable insights for Claysville to learn from.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote If you have a special needs child DO NOT place them in Claysville elementary. My son was treated very poorly there and they are definitely NOT knowledgeable about autism. I won't get into details but at his new school we have absolutely 0 problems and my son loves his teacher. Before, he would beg me to stay home where it was safe he and he always cried when I would drop him off. Now, he begs me to go to school and is excited. A total 180 after leaving that godawful school Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
