Summary

Southern Fulton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 374 students in grades PK-6 in Warfordsburg, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Southern Fulton School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 students per teacher, it has consistently lower test scores compared to the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in Math for all grades was 39.3%, compared to the state average of 41.7%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rate in ELA for all grades was 41.4%, compared to the state average of 48.5%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with disabled students performing relatively well, but white students and low socioeconomic status students performing poorly compared to their peers statewide.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mountain View Elementary School in the Tuscarora School District, Southern Fulton Elementary School generally performs worse in both Math and ELA proficiency rates. Despite the school's high spending per student of $26,182, which is significantly higher than the state average, its academic performance has been declining over the years, suggesting the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and explore more effective ways to improve student outcomes.
