Summary:
The city of Primos, Pennsylvania has only one school, Primos Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Upper Darby School District. This public elementary school has a total enrollment of 465 students and faces significant challenges, as it is an underperforming school with consistently low rankings and test scores that fall below state and district averages in math and English language arts (ELA).
Primos Elementary School serves a high-poverty community, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,670 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.4, the academic performance remains poor. The school's statewide ranking places it between 1,031 and 1,145 out of 1,526 to 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three school years, indicating a need for significant improvement.
While the school's performance on PSSA science tests is better, with 4th-grade students scoring above the state and district averages, the overall academic performance at Primos Elementary School suggests the need for the Upper Darby School District and the school itself to identify and address the root causes of the underperformance. This may involve targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and increased community engagement to support the students and improve their educational outcomes.
