Mill Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Mill Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Levittown, Pennsylvania, serving 1,048 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bristol Township School District, which is ranked 498 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending of $20,216, Mill Creek Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with proficiency rates on PSSA tests significantly below state averages in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, and there are significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students outperforming their White peers. In contrast, nearby schools in the Neshaminy School District and Pennsbury School District, such as Hoover Elementary, Buck Elementary, and Walt Disney Elementary, consistently outperform Mill Creek Elementary on academic measures.

With 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Mill Creek Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student demographics and socioeconomic status. The school's low academic performance and achievement gaps suggest the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan, focusing on strengthening the educational program, providing additional support for disadvantaged students, and exploring partnerships with community organizations to bring in more resources and expertise.

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.
