Summary:
The Forbes Road School District in Pennsylvania has one elementary school, Forbes Road Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has a relatively small enrollment of 227 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1.
Forbes Road Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school within its district and the state of Pennsylvania. The school's PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) math and English language arts proficiency rates are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, the school's PSSA science proficiency rate for 4th grade is 74.2%, which is higher than the district (71.7%) and state (77.1%) averages. The school has maintained a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.
However, the school also has a relatively high percentage of students (64.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending of $19,401 is significantly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance. The school's state-wide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, going from 488th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 652nd out of 1,526 in 2023-2024, which could be due to changes in the school's performance or the performance of other schools in the state.
