Summary

Jamestown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Jamestown Area School District in Jamestown, PA. The school has 183 students and has consistently been rated 2-3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Jamestown Elementary faces several key challenges, including a high percentage of students from low-income families, with over 98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 45-100% free/reduced lunch. Academically, Jamestown Elementary's performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates, is generally lower than the state and district averages, especially in math. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's overall math proficiency rate was 43.2% compared to the state average of 41.7%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking among Pennsylvania elementary schools has steadily declined from 530 out of 1,474 in 2014-2015 to 824 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025.

Despite the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $19,015 to $33,011 over the past few years, this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. When compared to the nearby elementary schools, such as Karen A. Ionta Elementary, Artman Elementary, and West End Elementary, Jamestown Elementary generally underperforms academically, especially in math. However, one bright spot for Jamestown Elementary is its science performance, with proficiency rates consistently above 90% and outperforming the state and district averages.
