Elementary Schools in Rochester Area School District

Summary:

The Rochester Area School District has only one elementary school, Rochester Area Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 342 students. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years.

Rochester Area Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While its 4th grade science proficiency rate is significantly higher than the state average, the school's math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are below the state average across all grades. The school has a very high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which is better than the state average.

The Rochester Area School District as a whole is facing significant challenges, with an overall ranking of 454 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and a 1-out-of-5-star rating by SchoolDigger. The district spends $23,918 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, but this does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement for the students at Rochester Area Elementary School.
