This relatively small school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Souderton Charter School Collaborative significantly outperforms the state averages in PSSA test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

In Science, the school had 90.3% proficiency, compared to 65.8% statewide. This consistent academic excellence is a key differentiator for the school. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the nearby North Penn School District, Pennridge School District, and Souderton Area School District schools, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population.

Souderton Charter School Collaborative also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.3 to 10.5 students per teacher in recent years, significantly lower than the nearby traditional public schools. The school also spends more per student, with spending ranging from $17,065 to $20,712 per student in recent years, compared to $17,625 to $23,006 per student in the nearby schools. These factors likely contribute to the school's academic success and its position as one of the top-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
