Summary:
Cheltenham, Pennsylvania is home to a single public elementary school, Cheltenham Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the data set is limited to this one school, it provides a comprehensive look at the school's performance, demographics, and resource allocation within the Cheltenham School District and the state of Pennsylvania.
Cheltenham Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, with its PSSA test scores in Math and English Language Arts falling below the district and state averages. However, the school's Science proficiency rates are notably higher, suggesting a potential area of strength. The school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with over 50% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average.
While Cheltenham Elementary School faces some academic performance challenges, the data indicates that the school may have access to more resources than the state average. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help address the school's areas of underperformance and support the success of its diverse student population. By understanding the school's strengths and areas for improvement, the Cheltenham School District can work to ensure that all students in the community receive a high-quality education.
