Baggaley Elementary School has consistently performed above the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams. For the 2024-2025 school year, Baggaley's proficiency rates were 52.1% in Math and 61.1% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school has also shown strong performance across different student subgroups, ranking in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for Female Students, Male Students, and Disabled Students in both Math and ELA. Additionally, Baggaley has seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, from $12,007 in 2019-2020 to $19,056 in 2022-2023, which may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Greater Latrobe School District, Baggaley Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in Math and ELA proficiency rates. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with the school ranking as high as 167 out of 1,554 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2015-2016 and as low as 526 out of 1,526 in 2023-2024. This variability in ranking suggests that the school may be facing some challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. Additionally, Baggaley has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may present unique challenges for the school in supporting student learning and achievement.
