Brockway Area Elementary School

Summary:

Brockway Area Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 466 students in grades K-6 in Brockway, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Brockway Area School District. The school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, outperforming the state average in PSSA test scores across all grade levels and subject areas.

One of the school's key strengths is its ability to support and enable low-socioeconomic status (SES) students to perform at a high level, with 48.28% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. In fact, the school's low-SES students rank 140 out of 1,432 Pennsylvania elementary schools, a remarkable achievement. However, the school's performance for students with disabilities is an area of concern, as this subgroup ranks 666 out of 1,084 Pennsylvania elementary schools, suggesting a need for enhanced support and resources.

Another interesting finding is the gender disparity in student performance, with male students ranking 257 out of 1,495 Pennsylvania elementary schools, while female students rank 422 out of 1,488. This indicates a potential area for improvement in addressing the needs of female students. Overall, Brockway Area Elementary School is a high-performing school that has consistently demonstrated strong academic results, particularly in Math and Science, and serves as a model for supporting low-SES students, but may need to focus on enhancing its special education program and addressing the gender performance gap.

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.
