Summary

Aliquippa Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Aliquippa School District, which is ranked 592 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 462 students, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools based on academic performance.

Aliquippa Elementary School faces significant challenges, with only 6.5% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and 11.3% proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.65% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the state average of around 50%. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $21,011 to $24,160 over the past few years, the school has shown little to no improvement in its statewide ranking or academic performance.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Bon Meade Elementary, Freedom Area Elementary, and State Street Elementary generally perform much better academically, with higher proficiency rates on PSSA tests and higher statewide rankings. Addressing the challenges faced by Aliquippa Elementary School will likely require a comprehensive, long-term approach involving the school district, community, and state-level support.
