Duquesne City School District

Summary:

The Duquesne City School District in Pennsylvania has only one school, Duquesne Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 446 students. The school faces significant challenges, ranking 1487 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Duquesne Elementary School has consistently low performance on PSSA tests, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels. The school serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, as 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively small student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, the school's academic struggles persist, potentially due to limited funding, with only $59 spent per student in the 2022-2023 school year.

Overall, the data highlights the significant challenges faced by Duquesne Elementary School, including low academic achievement, high poverty levels, and limited resources. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that addresses the unique needs of the school and its community.
