Summary:
The Aliquippa Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Aliquippa School District in Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 462 students, the school faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low statewide rankings and poor academic performance.
Aliquippa Elementary School's PSSA test scores are significantly below the state averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.5% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 65% indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the academic struggles.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $21,011, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. The data suggests that the challenges faced by Aliquippa Elementary School are likely systemic issues within the broader Aliquippa School District, which is also ranked very low statewide and rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Significant interventions and support may be needed to help improve educational outcomes for the students in this area.
