Lenape Elementary School

Summary:

Lenape Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ford City, Pennsylvania, serving 724 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Armstrong School District, which is ranked 209 out of 610 school districts in the state.

Lenape Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (42.6%) and English Language Arts (44%) were below the state (40.4% and 53%, respectively) and district (43.8% and 50.7%, respectively) averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing significantly worse than students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and students with disabilities. Additionally, Lenape Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with over 99% of students falling into this category.

Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,972 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 students per teacher, suggesting the district is investing resources to support the students. However, when compared to other nearby schools in the Armstrong School District, such as Shannock Valley Elementary School and Elderton Elementary School, Lenape Elementary School generally underperforms. The school's consistent ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicates that more targeted interventions and strategies may be necessary to improve student outcomes and close the performance gaps.

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.
