Reeceville Elementary School

Summary:

Reeceville Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, serving approximately 350 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.

Reeceville Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 15-20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. Its proficiency rates on the PSSA tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 18.7% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 40.4% statewide and 21.5% in the Coatesville district. The school has an extremely high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the surrounding Downingtown Area School District schools, which have free/reduced-lunch rates ranging from 8.6% to 26.3%. Despite the high spending per student, ranging from $12,704 to $17,965, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 12.8 students per teacher, Reeceville Elementary's academic performance remains persistently low.

The data reveals a stark contrast between Reeceville Elementary and the nearby high-performing schools in the Downingtown Area School District, which consistently rank in the top 5-10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with proficiency rates that are 30-40 percentage points higher than Reeceville across all subject areas. Reeceville Elementary's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students, is particularly concerning, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 20-30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to Reeceville's struggles will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for its students.

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.
