Best Public Schools in Yeadon, PA

Summary:

The city of Yeadon, Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools, W B Evans Elementary School and Bell Avenue School, both part of the William Penn School District. Unfortunately, the data reveals that neither school is a standout performer, with both ranking in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools and scoring significantly below state averages on key metrics like math, science, and English language arts proficiency.

Across both schools, the data shows consistently low academic performance, with W B Evans Elementary and Bell Avenue School struggling to meet state standards. Both schools have a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and their statewide rankings have remained in the bottom quarter over the past three school years. Additionally, the schools have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population that may face significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource availability.

While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, with 13.2 students per teacher at W B Evans and 14.7 at Bell Avenue, the schools' spending per student is similar, around $18,800 per student. This suggests that the underlying issues may not be solely related to funding or staffing levels, but rather more systemic challenges that the district and community will need to address to improve educational outcomes for the students in Yeadon.
