Summary

Juniata Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Alexandria, Pennsylvania, serving 302 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Juniata Valley School District, which is ranked 393 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Juniata Valley Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with below-average performance on PSSA tests in both Math and English Language Arts compared to the state averages. The school's proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were 39.7% in Math and 37% in ELA, lagging behind nearby higher-performing schools like Ferguson Township Elementary School and Juniata Elementary School, but performing better than Logan Elementary School and Stone Valley Community Charter School.

The school's performance is particularly low for its White and Male student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's performance for its Female students is relatively better, ranking in the bottom 37% of the state. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,451 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, its academic performance remains a concern, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices and resource allocation to address the identified areas of improvement.
