Summary:
The city of 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 and serves a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students and a high percentage of students from low-income families.
Freemansburg Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer within the district or the state of Pennsylvania. The school's academic proficiency rates in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 13.8% to 23.4% of students proficient in math and 17% to 20.7% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 29.6% to 39.2% and 38.8% to 47.5%, respectively, and the state's 42.7% to 51.7% and 51.8% to 54%. The school's overall ranking within the state's elementary schools is also quite low, placing it in the bottom 15% for the past three school years.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, which is the 7th best among the 16 elementary schools in the Bethlehem Area School District, the academic performance of Freemansburg Elementary School suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The high percentage of students (77.81%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which may contribute to the academic challenges and the need for additional resources and support.
