Summary:
The East Penn School District in Pennsylvania is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Overall, the district is performing well, with all schools rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, except for Lincoln Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, which are rated 2 and 3 stars, respectively.
Willow Lane Elementary, Shoemaker Elementary, and Macungie Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in academic proficiency. These schools have the highest math and English language arts proficiency rates, with over 60% of students proficient or better. In contrast, Lincoln Elementary and Jefferson Elementary struggle the most, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals that schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Lincoln Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance. However, there doesn't appear to be a clear relationship between higher spending per student or lower student-teacher ratios and better academic performance, suggesting that other factors, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and curriculum, may play a more significant role in student outcomes.
