Elementary Schools in Carlynton School District

Summary:

The Carlynton School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: Carnegie Elementary School and Crafton Elementary School. Based on the available data, Crafton Elementary School emerges as the standout performer, consistently outranking Carnegie Elementary in academic metrics and statewide rankings.

Crafton Elementary School holds a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 405 out of 1,511 Pennsylvania elementary schools, while Carnegie Elementary has a 2-star rating and ranks 1,016. Crafton students demonstrate significantly higher proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels, as well as in PSSA Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Crafton's overall PSSA Math proficiency rate was 58.4%, compared to 41.7% for the district and the state.

Both schools have high spending per student, with Crafton at $22,961 and Carnegie at $22,288 for the 2022-2023 school year. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively low, with 10.5:1 at Crafton and 11:1 at Carnegie. However, the persistent achievement gap between the two schools, despite their similar resource levels, suggests that factors beyond funding and staffing may be contributing to the disparity in student outcomes.
