Summary:
The Southern Fulton Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Southern Fulton School District. With a total enrollment of 374 students, the school's performance has been mixed compared to state averages, though it has shown some areas of strength.
While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, placing it in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, its academic performance is varied. The school's proficiency rates in Math (39.3%) and English Language Arts (41.4%) on the PSSA tests were below the state averages, but its 6th grade proficiency rates in both subjects were higher than the state. Additionally, the school's 4th grade science proficiency rate of 87.6% was significantly above the state average of 77.1%.
The school's spending per student of $26,182 is notably higher than the state average, but it's unclear if this increased funding is translating into better academic outcomes. The school also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 50%, which may be a factor in its performance. Overall, Southern Fulton Elementary School has strengths in certain subject areas and grade levels, but also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all grades and subjects.
