Summary

Isaac Tripp Elementary School is a public elementary school in Scranton, Pennsylvania, serving students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Scranton School District, which is ranked 488 out of 606 districts in the state.

Despite spending a relatively high amount of $20,836 per student, Isaac Tripp Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with only 26.6% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 41.7% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for White students, who rank in the bottom 5% of the state in both Math and English Language Arts. This suggests the school is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes, even with the high level of funding.

When comparing Isaac Tripp Elementary to nearby schools within the Scranton School District, there is some variation in performance levels. For example, Robert Morris #27 and Frances Willard #32 perform significantly better on state assessments. However, all the nearby Scranton schools have very high percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may be a significant contributor to the overall low performance across the district.
