Summary:
The Farrell Area School District has only one elementary school, Farrell Area Elementary School/Lms, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 393 students. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels.
Despite the school's high spending per student ($28,175) and low student-teacher ratio (9.2 to 1), it is struggling to achieve academic success. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the Farrell Area School District and Farrell Area Elementary School/Lms face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students and may need to examine their instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to identify areas for improvement.
Overall, the data indicates that Farrell Area Elementary School/Lms is a low-performing school that is not meeting the academic needs of its students. The district and school leadership will need to take decisive action to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the children in this community.
