Summary:
The Brandywine Heights Area School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: Brandywine Heights Intrmd/Middle School, Brandywine Heights High School, and Brandywine Heights Elementary School. The district's schools exhibit a mix of strong and struggling performance, with the elementary school standing out as a consistent top performer.
Brandywine Heights Elementary School consistently achieves high proficiency rates on PSSA Math and ELA tests, significantly exceeding the district and state averages. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, despite a relatively low statewide ranking. In contrast, Brandywine Heights Intrmd/Middle School faces some challenges, with lower proficiency rates in PSSA Math, particularly in the upper grades.
The district's high school, Brandywine Heights High School, has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate, from 124th out of 674 schools in 2022-2023 to 463rd out of 686 schools in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance may be variable or impacted by factors beyond the school's control. Interestingly, the high school, which spends the most per student, does not necessarily have the best outcomes in terms of test scores and rankings, indicating that simply spending more money may not be the sole driver of academic success.
