Summary:
The Minersville Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: Minersville Area Elementary Center, serving grades 1-6, and Early Childhood Edu Center, serving pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students. Both schools serve a high-need student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Minersville Area Elementary Center has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, with below-average performance on PSSA tests in math and English language arts. However, the school's 4th grade science proficiency rate is quite high, exceeding the state average. The school spends $16,723 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11:1.
In contrast, the Early Childhood Edu Center, which serves younger students, has a higher student-teacher ratio of 16.1:1 and spends $14,851 per student, which is lower than the spending at the elementary center. While the Early Childhood Edu Center does not have historical ranking data available, it shares the same high-need student population as Minersville Area Elementary Center, indicating the district faces significant challenges in supporting the academic success of its students.
