Penncrest School District


Summary:

The Penncrest School District in Pennsylvania consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 3 junior/senior high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools display a range of academic performance, with some standout elementary schools and more mixed results at the secondary level.

Saegertown Elementary School and Cambridge Springs Elementary School are the top-performing elementary schools, with strong PSSA test scores that exceed district and state averages. In contrast, the secondary schools, such as Saegertown Junior/Senior High School, have more varied performance, with some schools ranking higher than others. Factors like student-teacher ratios and per-student spending do not appear to be directly correlated with academic outcomes across the district.

Socioeconomic factors, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, seem to play a role in student achievement, with schools serving higher-need populations generally performing lower on standardized tests. However, the relationship between spending and outcomes is not straightforward, suggesting that other factors, such as teaching quality and school leadership, may also contribute to the district's academic performance. Overall, the Penncrest School District presents a mixed picture, with pockets of excellence alongside areas for improvement.
