Best Public Schools in Collingdale, PA

Summary:

The city of Collingdale, Pennsylvania has only one school, Harris School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 658 students. Harris School is part of the Southeast Delco School District, which is ranked 503 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harris School has consistently low performance on PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels. The school has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. However, Harris School's student-teacher ratio of 12.8 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting relatively smaller class sizes.

While Harris School's per-student spending of $10,642 is in line with the state average, it is unclear how this spending is allocated and whether it is effectively supporting student outcomes. The data suggests that Harris School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve academic performance and address the unique needs of its student population.
