Summary

Twin Rivers Elementary School is a public elementary school in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, serving 672 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the McKeesport Area School District, which is ranked 554 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Twin Rivers Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on PSSA tests in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 17.1% in Math and 11.4% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance is also below the McKeesport Area School District average. However, the nearby Park Elementary School, which is part of the Steel Valley School District, stands out as a high-performing school with proficiency rates in the 50-60% range for both Math and ELA.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Twin Rivers Elementary School, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role in the school's academic performance. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending indicate that the district is making efforts to improve the school's resources and support, but these efforts have not yet translated into significant academic gains.
