Best Public Schools in Freemansburg, PA


Summary:

Freemansburg, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Freemansburg Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Bethlehem Area School District. Based on the available data, Freemansburg Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools with a 1-star rating out of 5 for the past three school years.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts consistently falling well below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA Math for all grades was just 14.6%, compared to the district's 26.6% and the state's 40.4%. The school's performance is particularly weak in 4th and 5th grade PSSA Math and English Language Arts, where proficiency rates are substantially lower than the district and state levels.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student of $19,496 in the 2021-2022 school year, the academic outcomes remain poor. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning. The high percentage of students (77.81%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which can contribute to lower academic achievement. The district and school administration may need to implement more targeted interventions and support services to address these challenges and improve student outcomes at Freemansburg Elementary School.
