Ramsey Elementary School

Summary:

Ramsey Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, serving 332 students in grades K-4 as part of the Gateway School District. The school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and exceptional achievement among African American students.

Ramsey Elementary School has a relatively diverse student body, with 48.8% White, 30.42% African American, 5.42% Hispanic, and 6.02% Asian students. This diversity is higher compared to nearby schools like Level Green Elementary School and Sunrise Elementary School, which have predominantly White student populations. Academically, Ramsey Elementary excels, particularly in science, with 85.2% of students proficient or better on the PSSA Science assessment, significantly higher than the state average of 65.6%. The school also performs well in PSSA Math and English Language Arts, outpacing the state averages.

One of the most impressive achievements of Ramsey Elementary is the exceptional performance of its African American students, who ranked 25th out of 437 Pennsylvania elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2022-2023 school year. This is a notable accomplishment, as African American students often face achievement gaps in many schools. However, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, Ramsey Elementary has maintained a consistent 3- or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade, demonstrating its ability to provide a stable and quality education to its diverse student body.

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.
