The school is part of the Delaware Valley School District, which is ranked 128 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

The school's performance in Science is particularly noteworthy, with 84.3% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 65.6%.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Delaware Valley School District, Delaware Valley Elementary School performs similarly or slightly better in academic measures, such as PSSA test scores. However, Shohola Elementary School, another school in the district, stands out with higher proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts, ranking 322 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year. Overall, Delaware Valley Elementary School is a solid performing school, but it must continue to focus on targeted interventions and support for its low-income student population to ensure equitable outcomes for all 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.
