Elementary Schools in Apollo-Ridge School District

Summary:

The Apollo-Ridge School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Apollo-Ridge Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. The school has consistently ranked around 874 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three school years, earning a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Apollo-Ridge Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments generally below the state averages, but with some exceptions. In 2024-2025, the school's 3rd and 4th grade Math proficiency rates were slightly higher than the state average, while the 5th grade rate was lower. In 2023-2024, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was higher than the state average, but the 3rd and 5th grade rates were lower. The school's Science proficiency rate for 4th grade in 2023-2024 was also higher than the state average.

Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, and the school district's spending per student for the 2022-2023 school year was $21,650. However, the school has a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.
