Summary:
The New Kensington-Arnold School District in Pennsylvania is home to three elementary schools: Roy A. Hunt Elementary School, Berkey School, and Martin School. These schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with all three reporting extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the three schools, Roy A. Hunt Elementary is the largest, with 585 students, but it has the lowest proficiency rates on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests compared to the district and state averages. However, its 6th-grade students perform the best within the school, with 25.4% proficient in Math and 30.9% in ELA. Berkey School, serving only grades 1-2, has the highest per-student spending at $27,625 and the lowest student-teacher ratio of 11.3. Martin School, the smallest with 165 students, has the highest student-teacher ratio at 14.3.
The data highlights significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with all three schools performing well below the state averages in Math and ELA proficiency. This suggests that students in the New Kensington-Arnold School District may be facing substantial challenges that require targeted interventions and additional resources to support their educational success.
