Summary

West Crawford Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, serving grades K-5 with a student population of 484. The school is part of the Connellsville Area School District, which is ranked 448 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Crawford Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms the state and district averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 20.9% in Math and 24.9% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade Math, where only 15.2% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 44%.

While the nearby schools in the Connellsville Area School District, such as Springfield Elementary and Bullskin Elementary, generally outperform West Crawford Elementary in academic proficiency, the relationship between spending and academic performance is not straightforward. West Crawford Elementary's spending per student has ranged from $13,541 to $16,745 in recent years, which is lower than the spending at some of the nearby schools. To improve the school's performance, a comprehensive approach addressing the socioeconomic and resource factors, as well as targeted interventions for underperforming subgroups, may be necessary.
