Keystone Elementary School

Summary:

Keystone Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Croydon, PA, serving 943 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 Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Keystone Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in PSSA test scores across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (35.7%), Science (72.6%), and English Language Arts (32.4%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 40.4%, 65.8%, and 53%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing relatively better than the White student population. Additionally, the school's English Language Learners and students with disabilities perform better than the overall student population.

Keystone Elementary School's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its academic challenges. The school's per-student spending of $19,179 in the 2021-2022 school year is higher than the state average, suggesting that additional resources are being directed towards supporting these students. When compared to other nearby schools in the Bristol Township School District and the Bensalem Township School District, Keystone Elementary School generally underperforms in academic metrics, but its performance is better than some of the other low-performing schools in the area, such as Samuel K. Faust Elementary and Benjamin Rush Elementary.

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.
