Summary

Dr Cleveland Steward Junior Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Monroeville, PA, serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 307 students. The school is part of the Gateway School District, which is ranked 186 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dr Cleveland Steward Junior Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with proficiency rates on PSSA tests generally below the state and district averages. However, the school's per-student spending has been relatively high, ranging from $18,881 to $19,707 per student over the past four school years, and the school has maintained a low student-to-teacher ratio. Nearby schools within the Gateway School District, such as Ramsey Elementary School and University Park Elementary School, generally outperform Dr Cleveland Steward Junior Elementary School on academic measures.

Despite the school's challenges, there are some interesting findings. For example, the school's African American students have performed better than the school's overall student population on PSSA tests in recent years. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from and replicate successful strategies within the school to improve overall student outcomes.
