Summary

Cornell Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, serving 294 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Cornell School District, which is ranked 472 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cornell Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 894 and 1160 out of 1500+ schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on PSSA tests is significantly below the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.3% of Cornell Elementary students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%. In ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 38.5%, while the state average was 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade Math, where only 10.8% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 44%.

Interestingly, the nearby Montour Elementary School, which is just 3.7 miles away, has a ranking between 92 and 211 out of 1500+ schools and consistently outperforms the state averages in both Math and ELA. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the academic performance of Cornell Elementary School, as the high-performing nearby schools have lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds. Additionally, Cornell Elementary School's performance has been declining over the past several years, with its ranking dropping from 1060 out of 1547 schools in 2016-2017 to 999 out of 1511 schools in 2024-2025, which is concerning and suggests the school may be facing challenges in effectively educating its students.
