Cornell School District


Summary:

The Cornell School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools - Cornell Elementary School and Cornell High School. While the elementary school demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in math, the high school faces significant challenges with proficiency rates well below state averages.

Cornell Elementary School stands out for its high math proficiency rates, with over 70% of 3rd graders and 55% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better on the PSSA math assessments. In contrast, Cornell High School struggles academically, with proficiency rates in math, science, and literature well below the state averages. This stark contrast in academic performance suggests a potential disconnect in the educational continuity between the elementary and high school levels.

Both schools serve a student population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the extremely high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may be a contributing factor to the academic performance issues observed at the high school level. Additionally, the racial diversity of the student populations raises concerns about educational equity, as there appear to be performance gaps between different racial groups. To address these challenges, the Cornell School District may need to re-evaluate the distribution of resources and implement targeted strategies to support student learning, particularly at the secondary level.
