Resica Elementary School

Summary:

Resica Elementary School is a public elementary school in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the East Stroudsburg Area School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more varied than some nearby schools like Bushkill Elementary School and East Stroudsburg Elementary School.

Resica Elementary's student performance on state assessments is mixed, with the school performing better than the district in science proficiency but lagging behind the state and district averages in math and English language arts. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, ranking 9th out of 437 Pennsylvania elementary schools for African American students but only 1,094th out of 1,236 for white students. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 62.5%, which is higher than nearby J.M.

Despite having a higher per-student spending of $23,314 compared to some nearby schools, Resica Elementary's academic performance has been inconsistent, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between 648 and 1,154 out of over 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools. These findings suggest that the school may be facing socioeconomic and other challenges that could be impacting student learning and achievement, and that a comprehensive approach is needed to address the unique needs of the school and its diverse community.

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.
