Summary:
The Jamestown Area School District has one elementary school, Jamestown Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 566th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 824th out of 1,511 in 2024-2025.
Jamestown Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels exceeding state averages in math and ELA proficiency, while others fall behind. The school's 4th grade science proficiency rate is significantly higher than the state average at 91.7% compared to 77.1%. However, the school's overall math and ELA proficiency rates are generally below the state average, with the exception of 5th grade math. Despite the high spending of $21,316 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1, the school's academic performance is not significantly outpacing the state average.
One notable finding is the extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at Jamestown Elementary School, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges and require targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement.
