Fayetteville Elementary School

Summary:

Fayetteville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 442 students in grades K-5 in the Chambersburg Area School District in Fayetteville, Pennsylvania. The school has been ranked between 588 and 1153 out of around 1500 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 772 and a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fayetteville Elementary School generally performs better than the Chambersburg Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania on PSSA tests, with 54.1% of students proficient or better in ELA, 50.3% proficient or better in math, and 81.9% proficient or better in science - all above state averages. The school also excels for certain student subgroups, ranking 3 out of 5 stars for male students, low socioeconomic status students, and students with disabilities. Notably, Fayetteville Elementary outperforms many other elementary schools in the district, such as Benjamin Chambers Elementary and Grandview Elementary, on math and science tests.

Despite serving a very high-poverty population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Fayetteville Elementary spends more per student than the state average, which may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance. The school's ability to effectively support disadvantaged students is a notable strength, and the higher spending per student suggests the school is able to provide more resources and targeted support to meet the needs of its student population.

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.
