Gayman Elementary School

Summary:

Gayman Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, serving 414 students in grades K-6. As part of the Central Bucks School District, which is ranked 47th out of 606 districts in the state, Gayman consistently ranks among the top 110-140 elementary schools in Pennsylvania with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gayman Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates in PSSA exams significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, the school's math proficiency rate for all grades was 76% in 2022-2023, compared to 61.2% for the district and 39.3% for the state. Gayman's science proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 97.4% of students proficient or better, compared to 83.9% for the district and 65.6% for the state. The school's student population is predominantly white, with a lower representation of other racial/ethnic groups compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Gayman has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Gayman Elementary's strong academic performance may be attributed to its higher per-student spending ($18,248 in 2021-2022) and lower student-teacher ratio (14 students per teacher in 2022-2023) compared to the state averages. While the school's success is commendable, further exploration of the factors contributing to its performance, as well as efforts to promote diversity and address potential socioeconomic disparities, could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the district and the state. Nearby schools, such as New Hope-Solebury Lower Elementary School and Pine Run Elementary School, may offer different perspectives and approaches to education that could be worth considering.

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.
