Summary

Paxinosa Elementary School is a public elementary school in Easton, Pennsylvania, serving 562 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Easton Area School District, which is ranked 360 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paxinosa Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Paxinosa has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance on PSSA assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively better performance for African American and Hispanic students, but struggling significantly for White and English Language Learner students.

Paxinosa Elementary's performance is significantly lower than other elementary schools in the Easton Area School District, such as Forks Elementary, Tracy Elementary, and Palmer Elementary, which consistently outperform Paxinosa on PSSA assessments and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. The high per-student spending at Paxinosa, over $21,000 in the 2022-2023 school year, may indicate that the district is attempting to address these challenges, but the results have not yet materialized.
