Burgettstown Area School District

Summary:

The Burgettstown Area School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Burgettstown Middle School/High School and Burgettstown Elementary Center. The elementary school consistently outperforms the middle/high school, with a higher statewide ranking and better academic proficiency rates, particularly in math and science. However, the middle/high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping to a 1-star rating.

The Burgettstown Elementary Center stands out as a relative bright spot, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and exceptional performance on PSSA tests. In contrast, the Burgettstown Middle School/High School struggles with math proficiency and has lower Keystone Exam scores in Algebra I and Biology compared to Literature. The elementary school also spends significantly more per student ($23,576) than the middle/high school ($16,639).

The stark differences in performance between the two schools within the Burgettstown Area School District suggest that the district may need to investigate the underlying factors driving these disparities and work to ensure more equitable educational opportunities across all grade levels.
