Summary:
The city of Eddystone, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Eddystone Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 241 students. The school is part of the Ridley School District.
Based on the available data, Eddystone Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer in the district or the state. The school's statewide ranking has consistently placed it in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the PSSA, are generally lower than the district and state averages across most subject areas and grade levels, with the weakest performance in math, particularly in 5th grade.
However, the school's high percentage of students (92.12%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic performance. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $21,543 for the 2021-2022 school year may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support for students, but the data suggests these resources have not yet translated into improved student outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Eddystone Elementary School will likely require a multifaceted approach that considers the school's unique needs and demographics.
