About Ingomar EL Sch

Ingomar El Sch is a public elementary school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving 349 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Its composite score of 9.2 out of 10 places it in the Exceptional tier — one of the strongest academic profiles a school of its type can carry. The numbers back that up.

Ingomar ranks 4th out of 148 public schools in Pittsburgh and 57th out of 2,842 statewide, outperforming 98% of Pennsylvania schools. That statewide standing holds up specifically among its peers: of 1,625 elementary schools across Pennsylvania, it ranks 50th. Academic performance scores a 9.0, and growth — which measures how much students advance year over year regardless of starting point — reaches 9.8, a near-perfect mark that signals consistent, measurable progress across every grade level.

With a 14.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio, Ingomar keeps classes tight enough for teachers to track individual students closely. That structure likely contributes to the growth numbers: smaller instructional groups give teachers room to catch gaps early and push advanced learners further. For families comparing Pittsburgh-area elementary options, Ingomar's combination of high baseline achievement and exceptional growth trajectory puts it at the top of a very competitive field.
