Summary:
Rainbow Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, serving 683 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Coatesville Area School District, which is ranked 507 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rainbow Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 school years. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state averages and the Coatesville Area School District averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 26.7% of Rainbow Elementary students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 40.4% statewide and 21.5% for the Coatesville district. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, is particularly concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for these groups.
While Rainbow Elementary School has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $9,388 in 2018-2019 to $16,671 in 2021-2022, this increased funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes. In contrast, the schools in the neighboring Downingtown Area School District, such as Bradford Heights Elementary, Beaver Creek Elementary, and West Bradford Elementary, consistently rank in the top 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and have significantly higher academic achievement. The high poverty rate at Rainbow Elementary, with 99.04% to 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.
