Summary:
The city of Spring Church, Pennsylvania, is home to a single elementary school, Apollo-Ridge Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been consistent over the past three years, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 873 out of 1,511 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Academically, Apollo-Ridge Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to the district and state averages. While the school's science proficiency rate of 79.3% for 4th grade is higher than both the district (70.2%) and the state (65.8%), its math proficiency of 47.2% and ELA proficiency of 41.9% for all grades are lower than the district and state averages. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 100%, suggests a high-poverty student population, which can present unique challenges and require targeted support.
The Apollo-Ridge School District spends $21,650 per student, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio at Apollo-Ridge Elementary is 12.4, which is lower than the typical class size. These resource allocations suggest a focus on providing adequate support for the students, but the school's mixed academic performance indicates that there may be room for improvement in core academic subjects.
