Summary:
Chester Union Free School District has only one elementary school, Chester Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1086 out of 2434 schools in 2021-2022 to 1306 out of 2445 schools in the current 2023-2024 school year.
Chester Elementary School's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math below the state average in some grade levels but above average in others. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 33.8% is slightly below the state average of 35%. The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 41.09%, and has a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 11.5.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $19,330, the data suggests that Chester Elementary School is facing a mix of challenges and opportunities. While the school has some areas of strength, such as its small class sizes, it also appears to be struggling with academic performance in certain subject areas and grade levels. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's needs and improve student outcomes.
