Summary:
The city of Forty Fort, Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Dana Elementary Center, which serves students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Wyoming Valley West School District, which is ranked 493 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.
Based on the available data, Dana Elementary Center does not appear to be a standout school. Its performance metrics are generally below the state and district averages. The school's statewide ranking has been in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools for the past three years, and it is rated only 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. On standardized tests, Dana Elementary Center's proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $13,759, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance is not reflecting the investment. Additionally, the school has a high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 100%, indicating a high-poverty student population, and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 16.5, which may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Dana Elementary Center is struggling to provide a quality education for its students and significant improvements would be needed to bring the school up to par with state and district averages.
