Colebrookdale Elementary School

Summary:

Colebrookdale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Boyertown Area School District in Pennsylvania, with 269 students. Despite its location in Boyertown, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, currently ranking 900 out of 1,526 schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colebrookdale Elementary's test scores lag behind both the Boyertown Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 43.9% of Colebrookdale students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 51.3% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school also has particularly low performance for male students, white students, and students with disabilities compared to other Pennsylvania elementary schools. Additionally, Colebrookdale has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at around 50% in recent years, which is higher than the district average.

Interestingly, Colebrookdale's performance lags behind other elementary schools in the Boyertown Area School District, such as Earl Elementary, New Hanover-Upper Frederick Elementary, and Boyertown Elementary, which have higher test scores, lower free/reduced lunch rates, and better student group performance. The significant year-over-year fluctuations in per-student spending at Colebrookdale are also concerning and may make it difficult for the school to implement consistent, long-term improvement strategies. However, with a 2-star rating, there is room for improvement, and by learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools and addressing equity concerns, Colebrookdale may be able to raise student achievement over time.

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.
