Summary:
The city of Morrisville, Pennsylvania is home to three elementary schools serving grades K-5: Eleanor Roosevelt Elementary School, Grandview Elementary School, and Morrisville Intermediate School. These schools are part of the Pennsbury School District and the Morrisville Borough School District.
Among the three schools, Eleanor Roosevelt Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 289 out of 1,534 elementary schools in Pennsylvania with a 4-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Eleanor Roosevelt has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (24.82%), indicating a more affluent student population compared to the other Morrisville schools. In contrast, Grandview Elementary and Morrisville Intermediate are both ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with 1-star ratings.
The data also reveals significant disparities in the student demographics and resources between the schools. Grandview Elementary and Morrisville Intermediate have higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students, as well as 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite the higher per-student spending at these two schools, they are still struggling academically, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the underlying challenges faced by these schools.
