Summary

Tyrone Area Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Tyrone Area School District, with an enrollment of 668 students. The school has faced challenges, with a ranking between 467 and 937 out of around 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years and a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key factor that differentiates Tyrone Area Elementary is its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This demographic tends to perform worse academically, which likely contributes to the school's lower overall rankings and test scores. However, the school has a notable bright spot in its strong Science proficiency, consistently outperforming the state average on the PSSA tests. In contrast, the school struggles with Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with rates generally below the state average.

Comparing Tyrone Area Elementary to nearby schools, it appears to be performing worse overall, with lower rankings and test scores than schools like Port Matilda Elementary, Osceola Mills Elementary, and Lewis M Myers Elementary. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for Tyrone Area Elementary as it works to improve its overall performance and outcomes.

The preK program at Tyrone is outstanding and lays a fantastic foundation for learning in the higher grades. The teachers care deeply about the students and work hard to help them learn. After talking to parents from surrounding districts I am convinced that Tyrone has the best early ed program in the area. Close Quote
