Summary

Jeannette McKee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 490 students in grades PK-6 in the Jeannette City School District in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. The school consistently performs below the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, with particularly low performance for certain student subgroups such as Multi-racial students and Low Socio-Economic Status students.

Jeannette McKee Elementary School has been ranked in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 1164 out of 1511 schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance is in stark contrast to nearby schools in the Norwin, Penn-Trafford, and Hempfield Area school districts, which significantly outperform Jeannette McKee Elementary in academic proficiency. For example, Sheridan Terrace Elementary and Harrison Park Elementary both have over 70% proficiency in Math and ELA, compared to Jeannette McKee's 27-28% proficiency.

The school's performance has been on a declining trend, with its ranking dropping from 951 out of 1534 schools in 2021-2022 to 1164 out of 1511 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the district and school leadership need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of the underperformance, particularly for the school's economically disadvantaged and minority student populations. Comparing the school's outcomes to the higher-performing nearby districts can provide valuable insights and best practices that Jeannette McKee Elementary could potentially adopt.
