Summary

Elk Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Springville, PA, serving 577 students in grades K-6 and part of the Elk Lake School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions in specific grade levels and subject areas.

Elk Lake Elementary School's PSSA math and English language arts (ELA) proficiency rates are below the state averages, with the 6th-grade math and ELA proficiency rates significantly lower than the state's. However, the school's PSSA science proficiency rates are relatively strong, with the 4th-grade rate reaching 86.3% in 2023-2024, compared to the state's 77.1%. The school has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Waverly School, Choconut Valley Elementary School, and Lathrop Street Elementary School, which tend to have higher PSSA proficiency rates.

Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending, suggesting a commitment to providing a supportive learning environment. By addressing the identified challenges and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools, Elk Lake Elementary School can work towards enhancing the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.
