Summary

Grover Cleveland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Erie, Pennsylvania, serving 571 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Erie City School District, which is ranked 545 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grover Cleveland Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on PSSA tests in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 33% of Grover Cleveland students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school's performance lags behind its nearby district peers, such as Lincoln Elementary and Perry Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts.

Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Grover Cleveland Elementary has struggled to improve its academic performance. However, the school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Multi-racial students, are generally higher than its overall school ranking, suggesting these subgroups may be performing better relative to their peers statewide. Further investigation into the school's specific challenges and strategies employed by higher-performing nearby schools could provide valuable insights to help address the persistent underperformance at Grover Cleveland Elementary.
