Best Public Schools in Woodlyn, PA

Summary:

The city of Woodlyn, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Woodlyn Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade and is part of the Ridley School District. While the school has a diverse student population, it consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Woodlyn Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the PSSA, is generally below the district and state averages in both math and English language arts across grades 3, 4, and 5. The school's science proficiency rate for 4th grade is also lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (92.23%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the higher spending per student at $15,710, the school's academic results do not seem to reflect the additional resources.

While Woodlyn Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11:1) among the 7 elementary schools in the Ridley School District, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further investigation is needed to identify the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and develop targeted strategies to address the identified issues.
