Best Public Schools in East Lansdowne, PA

Summary:

The city of East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania is home to a single public elementary school, East Lansdowne Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the William Penn School District.

East Lansdowne Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in math and English language arts that are consistently lower than both the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school serves a predominantly African American student population, with 79.51% of students identifying as such, and 100% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, the school has the highest spending per student and the highest student-teacher ratio among the 8 elementary schools in the William Penn School District.

These findings suggest that East Lansdowne Elementary School may be facing staffing and resource allocation issues that are impacting its ability to effectively support its students' academic success. The district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and provide the necessary resources and support to help its students thrive.
