Summary

Conemaugh Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, with an enrollment of 389 students. The school is part of the Conemaugh Valley School District, which is ranked 363 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Conemaugh Valley Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on PSSA math and English language arts assessments. In 2024-2025, only 26.6% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to 41.7% statewide. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 657 out of 1,544 schools in 2018-2019 to 1,148 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for White students, low socioeconomic status students, and disabled students in math and ELA proficiency.

Conemaugh Valley Elementary lags behind many nearby elementary schools in academic performance. For example, Windber Elementary, United Elementary, and Westmont Hilltop Elementary all significantly outperform Conemaugh Valley on PSSA assessments, with proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher. The school's high poverty rates, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, and fluctuating per-student spending suggest the need for a comprehensive review of instructional practices and resource allocation to improve student outcomes.
