Summary:
There is only one elementary school located in the Propel CS-Hazelwood district in Pennsylvania: Propel Cs-Hazelwood. This school serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade and is ranked very low among Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking of 1507 out of 1511 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Propel Cs-Hazelwood has consistently performed significantly below the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency on the PSSA assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in Math for all grades was only 4.4%, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school's performance is particularly concerning in the higher grade levels, with 0% proficiency in Math for grades 5-8. Additionally, the school had a 1.4% dropout rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $23,130, which is higher than the state average, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with nearly all students (98.65%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the academic challenges and may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the student body.
