Summary:
The city of Langhorne, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school within the Neshaminy School District. The data reveals that the two elementary schools, Tawanka Elementary and Hoover Elementary, are the standout performers in the district, with consistently high PSSA test scores that exceed the district and state averages.
In contrast, the middle school (Maple Point Middle School) and high school (Neshaminy High School) have more mixed performance, with some areas above average and some below. The high school maintains a respectable 87.5% four-year graduation rate, slightly above the state average, and both the middle and high school have relatively low dropout rates of 1.6%. However, the district-wide free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 33.57% to 37.64%, indicate a moderate level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
Funding levels also vary significantly, with spending per student ranging from $7,661 at Tawanka Elementary to $17,074 at Neshaminy High School. Further analysis of how these funding levels relate to the schools' performance and student outcomes could provide valuable insights. Overall, the data suggests the district has room for improvement, particularly at the middle and high school levels, while also highlighting the success of the top-performing elementary schools that could serve as models for the rest of the district.
