Summary

Tyson-Schoener Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Reading School District in Pennsylvania, with 384 students. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,478, it consistently performs below the district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Tyson-Schoener Elementary School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 15.5% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 9.8% for the Reading School District and 41.7% for Pennsylvania. This low performance is reflected in the school's ranking of 1428 out of 1511 elementary schools in the state. The school serves a high-needs student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the challenges they face.

While Tyson-Schoener Elementary School struggles academically, the other elementary schools in the Reading School District also perform poorly compared to the state average, suggesting that the district as a whole faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Implementing evidence-based strategies to support struggling students, improving teacher quality, and addressing systemic issues within the district could potentially lead to better outcomes for the students at Tyson-Schoener Elementary School and across the district.
