Groveland Elementary School

Summary:

Groveland Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 811 students. The school is part of the Central Bucks School District, which is ranked 47th out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Groveland Elementary School has a higher percentage of White students (75.09%) compared to the state average, it has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 144th out of 1,554 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 522nd out of 1,534 in 2022-2023. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 5 stars to 3 stars during this period. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally above the state average but below the Central Bucks School District average, with proficiency rates in Math (55.2%) and English Language Arts (60.1%) lower than the district's rates (61.2% and 72.6%, respectively).

Interestingly, Groveland Elementary School performs relatively well for its Hispanic students, ranking 149th out of 432 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023. However, it ranks much lower for its low socioeconomic status students, at 1,000th out of 1,414 schools. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing achievement gaps and supporting its most vulnerable student populations. Additionally, Groveland Elementary School is located in close proximity to several other high-performing elementary schools within the Central Bucks School District, such as Bridge Valley, Kutz, and Gayman Elementary Schools, which may put additional pressure on Groveland to improve its academic performance.

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.
