James Buchanan Elementary School

Summary:

James Buchanan Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, serving 263 students in grades K-5 and part of the Bethlehem Area School District.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, its academic performance is mixed. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (37%) and English Language Arts (38.9%) were lower than the district (26.6% and 39.1%) and state (40.4% and 53%) averages, but its Science proficiency rate (73.5%) was significantly higher. The school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (60.84% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), and there is a significant disparity in performance between Hispanic and White student subgroups, with Hispanic students ranking 158 out of 454 Pennsylvania elementary schools and White students ranking 1,149 out of 1,229.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Spring Garden Elementary School and Asa Packer Elementary School consistently outperform James Buchanan Elementary School on PSSA tests, suggesting that there may be successful practices or approaches that could be shared and replicated. However, other nearby schools like Fountain Hill Elementary School and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School also struggle with academic performance, indicating that the challenges faced by these schools may be more systemic.

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.
