Summary:
The Crawford Central School District in Pennsylvania is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the data reveals a stark contrast in school performance within the district.
The standout school is West End Elementary School, which ranks 465 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts. West End Elementary also excels in science, with 89.5% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in PSSA Science. In contrast, Second District Elementary School consistently underperforms the district and state averages across all subject areas.
The data suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to the disparities in student outcomes. While the Crawford Central School District faces significant socioeconomic challenges, the performance of West End Elementary School and Cochranton Elementary School demonstrates the potential for targeted interventions to address these disparities and improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
