Dr Cleveland Steward Junior Elementary School

Summary:

Dr Cleveland Steward Junior Elementary School is a public elementary school in Monroeville, PA, serving 327 students in grades K-4 and part of the Gateway School District.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, it performs significantly better in Science, with 86% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, exceeding the state and district averages. However, the school's performance on PSSA tests in Math and English Language Arts is generally below the state and district averages, with only 42.4% and 49% of students proficient or better, respectively. The school's high concentration of students from low-income families, with 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Interestingly, nearby schools within the Gateway School District, such as Ramsey Elementary School and University Park Elementary School, generally perform better academically than Dr Cleveland Steward Junior Elementary School.

Despite the school's lower academic performance compared to the state and district, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 11.5 students per teacher, and its spending per student has been consistently higher than the state average, suggesting that the district is investing resources to support the students. The school's strong performance in Science may indicate an area of strength that could be leveraged to improve overall academic achievement. Addressing the needs of the high-poverty student population may be a key focus for the school and Gateway School District to enhance student outcomes.

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.
