Summary:
The Girard School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Elk Valley Elementary School, Girard High School, and Rice Avenue Middle School. These schools serve a predominantly high-need student population, as evidenced by the 100% free/reduced lunch rates across all three institutions.
Elk Valley Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently achieving exceptional results on PSSA Math and ELA tests, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and high statewide ranking for elementary schools further validate its success. In contrast, Rice Avenue Middle School has more mixed results, with some grades and subjects underperforming the district and state averages, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
Girard High School also stands out, with strong performance on Keystone Exams, particularly in Literature, and an impressive 87.9% four-year graduation rate coupled with a low 1.4% dropout rate. Like Elk Valley Elementary, Girard High School maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a high statewide ranking for high schools, indicating its effectiveness in preparing students for post-secondary success.
