Summary:
The Wallingford-Swarthmore School District in Pennsylvania is home to three exceptional elementary schools: Wallingford Elementary School, Swarthmore-Rutledge School, and Nether Providence Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and have consistently demonstrated strong academic performance.
Wallingford Elementary School and Swarthmore-Rutledge School stand out as the top-performing elementary schools in the district, ranking 38th and 30th, respectively, out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools. Both schools boast exceptional PSSA proficiency rates, with over 87% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts. In contrast, while Nether Providence Elementary School also performs well above state averages, it lags behind the other two schools in the district in terms of academic achievement and state rankings.
The three elementary schools in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District demonstrate a wide range of spending per student, with Nether Providence spending over four times more per student than Wallingford Elementary. However, this higher spending does not necessarily translate to higher academic performance. The schools also vary in their student demographics, with Nether Providence having a significantly higher percentage of students from low-income families compared to the other two schools. Despite these differences, all three schools have consistently high PSSA proficiency rates, particularly in science and math, with several grades and subject areas exceeding 90% proficiency.
