Summary

Resica Elementary School is a public elementary school located in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, serving 408 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the East Stroudsburg Area School District, which is ranked 419 out of 606 districts in the state.

While Resica Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, it stands out in its performance for African American and multi-racial students. The school's African American students rank in the top 5-36 out of 413-437 Pennsylvania elementary schools, and its multi-racial students rank in the top 32-41 out of 100-128 schools in this category. However, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests, is below the state and district averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels.

Resica Elementary School's higher spending per student ($23,210 to $23,324) compared to the state average and other district schools, such as Smithfield Elementary School and East Stroudsburg Elementary School, which demonstrate higher academic performance, raises questions about the efficient use of resources. Additionally, the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (52.94% to 62.5%) compared to the surrounding schools may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, highlighting the need to address socioeconomic challenges and provide targeted support for economically disadvantaged students.
