Summary:
The Blue Ridge School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Blue Ridge Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 721 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 823 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023.
Blue Ridge Elementary School's proficiency rates on PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests have been mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state and district averages, while others fall below. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts were below the state average, but the 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was higher. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts were generally higher than the state and district averages.
The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the fact that 100% of its students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio is lower, suggesting that the district is allocating significant resources to address the needs of the student population.
