Despite the district's investment in Blain Elementary School, with high spending per student ($27,752) and a low student-teacher ratio (11.4), the school's academic performance has been declining over the past three years, dropping from 748 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 881 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025. The school district should investigate this trend and work to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Blain Elementary School.
