Summary:
The Cheltenham School District in Pennsylvania is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within the district, with Wyncote Elementary School and Myers Elementary School standing out as the top-performing schools based on their rankings, ratings, and academic achievement.
Wyncote Elementary School and Myers Elementary School consistently outperformed the district and state averages on PSSA tests in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Both schools received 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranked among the top 540 and 500 elementary schools in Pennsylvania, respectively. In contrast, Cheltenham Elementary School had the lowest PSSA test scores and often fell below the district and state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
The data also reveals differences in free and reduced lunch rates and per-student spending across the schools, with Cheltenham Elementary having the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students and Myers Elementary spending the most per student. These factors may contribute to the performance disparities observed, and further analysis on the relationship between socioeconomic status and academic achievement would be valuable for the district to address any inequities and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
