Jamestown Elementary School

Summary:

Jamestown Area Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 176 students in grades K-6 in Jamestown, Pennsylvania. The school is part of the Hermitage School District, which is ranked 247 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jamestown Area Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students outperforming state and district averages in math, science, and English language arts proficiency. The school's 100% science proficiency rate for all grades is particularly impressive. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.75%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools like Karen A. Ionta Elementary School and Artman Elementary School. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 99.43% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's community, Jamestown Area Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. This suggests the school is effectively supporting its students and helping them achieve academic success, likely due to its relatively high per-student spending of $21,474 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.2. While the school's racial homogeneity may be an area for further exploration, its strong performance and efficient resource allocation serve as a model for other schools facing similar challenges.

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.
