Summary:
The Norristown Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole struggles with low academic performance, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Paul V Fly Elementary School consistently ranks higher than the other elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and the highest proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts. Cole Manor Elementary School and Davenport Elementary School also perform better than the district average, with 2-star ratings and higher proficiency rates in several subject areas.
However, the Norristown Area School District as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates, often scoring well below the state averages in math, science, and English language arts. Additionally, all of the elementary schools in the district have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 99.83% to 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Despite the high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance of the district's elementary schools is still lagging behind state averages, suggesting that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
