Paxinosa Elementary School

Summary:

Paxinosa Elementary School is a public elementary school in Easton, Pennsylvania, serving 579 students in grades K-5. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, a high percentage of students from low-income families, and a student population that is predominantly minority.

Paxinosa Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with its students performing significantly below state and district averages on standardized tests. The school has an extremely high percentage (100%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 13.1 over the past few years, which is lower than nearby schools in the Easton Area School District. Despite this, Paxinosa Elementary's per-student spending is higher than the state average, ranging from $15,631 to $18,864 per student.

Paxinosa Elementary's student population is significantly more diverse than nearby schools, with 80.2% of students being non-White. The school's performance on standardized tests varies greatly among different student subgroups, with English Language Learners performing relatively well but White students and students from low-income families performing much worse. Over the past decade, Paxinosa Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined, suggesting that the school's academic performance has been deteriorating compared to other schools in Pennsylvania. This is in contrast to nearby schools like Forks Elementary, Palmer Elementary, and Shawnee Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

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.
