Summary

Pittsburgh Beechwood K-5 is an elementary school located in the Pittsburgh School District, which serves 349 students in grades PK-5. The school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with an extremely high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 95.89% to 96.85% over the past 3 years.

Despite these challenges, Pittsburgh Beechwood K-5 stands out in its performance for certain student subgroups. African American students rank very highly, in the top 20% of Pittsburgh Beechwood K-5's performance compared to other Pennsylvania elementary schools. Similarly, English Language Learner students also perform well, ranking in the top 25-30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. However, the school's overall academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with scores below the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Pittsburgh Grandview K-5 and Pittsburgh Westwood K-5, the performance gap is quite significant. These schools, while also serving high-poverty populations, generally outperform Pittsburgh Beechwood K-5 on standardized tests. However, the increased per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio at Pittsburgh Beechwood K-5 suggest the school is allocating significant resources to support its students, indicating potential for improvement with the right strategies and support.
