Summary:
The Susquenita School District has only one elementary school, Susquenita Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with an enrollment of 682 students. While the school has a higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to state averages, its academic performance has consistently fallen below Pennsylvania state standards in key areas.
Susquenita Elementary School is ranked 1043 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts were 43.8% and 35.4% respectively, both below the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%. The school's 3rd and 4th grade PSSA Math and ELA proficiency rates were also below the state averages. Additionally, the school's 4th grade PSSA Science proficiency rate of 65.8% in 2023-2024 was lower than the state average of 77.1%.
The school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 51.17% in 2023-2024 suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. While the school's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio indicate a focus on resource allocation, the data suggests the need for the school to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and interventions to better support student learning and improve academic outcomes.
