Summary

Lenape Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ford City, Pennsylvania, serving 696 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Armstrong School District, which is ranked 203 out of 606 school districts in the state.

Lenape Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with consistently lower proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts (ELA) compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Lenape's math proficiency rate was 45.9%, compared to the district's 45.6% and the state's 41.7%. Similarly, its ELA proficiency rate was 39.4%, compared to the district's 48.5% and the state's 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly weak in 3rd grade math and ELA, where its proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages.

While Lenape Elementary School's performance is lower than nearby schools within the Armstrong School District, such as Elderton Elementary School and Shannock Valley Elementary School, it is stronger than some schools in other nearby districts, such as Apollo-Ridge Elementary School and Kiski Area East Primary School. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-to-teacher ratio suggest that it has the resources to potentially improve student outcomes with the right targeted interventions and support.
