Summary:
The Claysburg-Kimmel Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Claysburg-Kimmel School District in Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 346 students, the school has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 895 out of 1,511 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the school's proficiency rates in math are below the state average across all grade levels, while its English Language Arts (ELA) performance is mixed, with 3rd-grade students exceeding the state average but 5th-grade students significantly underperforming. The school's science proficiency rate in 4th grade is also slightly below the state average. Despite the district's higher spending per student ($18,173) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.2) compared to the state, the school's academic challenges persist, potentially due to the high economic disadvantage of its student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The declining ranking and mixed academic performance of Claysburg-Kimmel Elementary School suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges. Improving student outcomes, particularly in math and the lower-performing grades, will be crucial for the school to reverse its downward trend and better serve the educational needs of the Claysburg-Kimmel community.
