Summary:
The Port Allegany Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-6 within the Port Allegany School District in Pennsylvania. While the school's performance on state assessments has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates below the state average in Math and English Language Arts, it has shown stronger results in Science. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, suggesting access to more resources, though this has not necessarily translated to better academic outcomes.
Port Allegany Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 1,053 out of 1,511 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1,101 out of 1,526 in 2023-2024. The school's PSSA proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts were 27.2% and 41.3%, respectively, in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%. However, the school's PSSA Science proficiency rate was 71.2% in 2023-2024, exceeding the state average of 65.8%.
With 506 students enrolled and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5, the school appears to have a relatively small class size compared to the state average. However, the data does not provide information about the school's or district's socioeconomic status, which may be a factor in the school's academic performance. Overall, while Port Allegany Elementary School faces some challenges, the data suggests that the school has access to more resources than many of its peers, and its performance in certain subject areas indicates potential areas of strength that could be built upon.
