Summary

Kane Area Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 435 students in grades K-5 in the Kane Area School District in Kane, Pennsylvania. The school's academic performance is below the state average, with math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates ranging from 38.3% to 53.4% and 31.5% to 48.3%, respectively, across grade levels in 2024-2025. However, the school's science proficiency rates are relatively strong, with 68.1% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, the Francis S Grandinetti Elementary School in the Ridgway Area School District outperforms Kane Area Elementary School in both math and ELA proficiency, while the Sheffield Area Elementary School in the Warren County School District performs significantly worse. The Johnsonburg Area Elementary School, located about 12 miles from Kane, is a high-performing school that significantly outperforms Kane Area Elementary School.

The school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, is an area of concern, ranking in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. In contrast, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students has improved, moving from the bottom 50% to the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in recent years. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and increasing per-student spending suggest a focus on addressing the needs of its high-need student population.
