Summary:
The Propel Cs-Pitcairn elementary school is the sole school located in the Propel CS-Pitcairn district in Pennsylvania, serving grades K-8 with an enrollment of 207 students.
Propel Cs-Pitcairn has consistently low performance on the PSSA tests, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school's overall proficiency rates were 11.2% in Math and 21.4% in English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1162 out of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1366 out of 1511 in 2024-2025.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with nearly all students (98.55%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $23,602 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, suggesting that the issue may not be a lack of resources, but rather how those resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement.
