Summary:
The Charleroi School District has only one elementary school, Charleroi Area Elementary Center, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Charleroi Area Elementary Center's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) generally below the state averages, but with some exceptions. The school's 3rd and 4th grade Math proficiency rates are slightly above the state average, and its 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate is also slightly above the state average. However, the school's overall performance suggests it may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Despite the district's relatively high spending per student ($17,102) and the school's low student-teacher ratio (13:1), the data indicates that these resources are not translating into consistently strong academic performance. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 62.35% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can present unique challenges in terms of educational outcomes and resource allocation. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's underperformance and improve student outcomes.
