Summary:

The Steel Valley School District consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Steel Valley area. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, with Park Elementary standing out as the top-performing school in the district, while Barrett Elementary lags behind.

Park Elementary boasts the highest PSSA proficiency rates in both Math (63.9%) and English Language Arts (55.9%), significantly outpacing the district averages of 27.8% and 35.7%, respectively. Additionally, Park Elementary ranks in the top 33% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. In contrast, Barrett Elementary struggles, with only 16.9% of students proficient or better in both subjects, and a state-wide ranking in the bottom 7% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

The data also reveals disparities in funding and resources across the district. Per-student spending ranges from $20,467 at Park Elementary to $30,584 at Barrett Elementary, which may contribute to the performance gaps. Furthermore, all 4 schools have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that likely impact student learning. Addressing these inequities and providing targeted support could help improve outcomes across the Steel Valley School District.
