Linwood Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is consistently below the Chichester School District and Pennsylvania state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. The school's proficiency rates in 2023-2024 were 30% in Math, 68.8% in Science, and 36.3% in English Language Arts, compared to district averages of 28.9%, 59.1%, and 45.4%, respectively, and state averages of 40.4%, 65.8%, and 53%. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in effectively educating its students and preparing them for academic success.

Linwood Elementary School serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 99.22% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this high poverty level, the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $27,159 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, indicating it has access to significant resources. However, the school appears to be struggling to translate these resources into improved academic achievement for its students, and further investigation into the school's specific challenges and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and support student success.
