Iroquois Elementary School

Summary:

Iroquois Elementary School is a public elementary school in Erie, Pennsylvania, serving 538 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Harbor Creek School District, which is ranked 253 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Iroquois Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (77.7%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's test scores in Math, Science, and English Language Arts are generally higher than the state average, but lower than top-performing schools in the area, such as Clark Elementary and Rolling Ridge Elementary. Iroquois also has an extremely high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients, with over 99% of students qualifying, which is significantly higher than the nearby Harbor Creek School District, where the rate is around 40%.

Despite its middle-range ranking and rating, Iroquois Elementary's spending per student has fluctuated over the years, ranging from $0 to $15,952 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools. The stark contrast in racial makeup, test scores, and poverty rates between Iroquois Elementary and its neighbors suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from and emulate the practices of successful schools in the area, while also addressing the unique challenges presented by its predominantly low-income student population.

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.

Open Quote The Iroquois School District is improving very quickly. Their SPP scores (School Performance Profile) have shown a major improvement. The budget cuts that hit ISD hard have now been overcome. There are many new administrators in the district and a supportive school board. The district continues to be a cost effective provider of a quality education for residents of the district. Close Quote

Open Quote With cut backs in funding, the class sizes have become too large, due to downsizing of qualified teachers. There was a shifting of teachers to classes that they are not necessarily qualified to teach, and the children/students are the ones left without a quality education. When the administration was asked about a plan to correct this situation, no follow up was given.
I would not recommend moving to this school district. In fact we are looking to take our student out of this terrible situation! Close Quote

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.
