Rolling Ridge Elementary School

Summary:

Rolling Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Erie, Pennsylvania, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 474 students. The school is part of the Harbor Creek School District, which is ranked 56 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rolling Ridge Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with a statewide ranking between 36 and 192 over the past 10 years. The school's PSSA test scores are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in 3rd and 4th-grade Math, where proficiency rates are well above the state averages. Additionally, the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of non-White students, including Asian, Hispanic, and students of two or more races. Despite this diversity, Rolling Ridge Elementary has been able to maintain its high academic performance across all racial and ethnic groups.

Interestingly, the school has a relatively lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 40.51% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, compared to the higher rates in some nearby schools like Clark Elementary School and McKinley Elementary School. This suggests that the school's strong academic performance may be influenced by its socioeconomic factors, but the school's ability to support the academic growth of students from diverse backgrounds is still impressive.

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.
