Greenwood Elementary School

Summary:

Greenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in the Kennett Consolidated School District in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, with 562 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4. The school has been rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year, ranking 687 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Greenwood Elementary excels academically, outperforming the district and state averages in PSSA test scores across all subjects and grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong in science, with 84.1% of students proficient or better, compared to 69.3% for the district and 65.8% for the state. Greenwood's 3rd and 4th-grade math scores are also noteworthy, with 60.9% and 54.4% proficiency, respectively, compared to the district and state averages. However, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status and disabled students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. Greenwood's high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 48.93% in 2022-2023, suggests the school may face challenges in addressing the needs of its more disadvantaged student population.

While Greenwood's academic performance is generally stronger than the other Kennett Consolidated School District elementary schools, it lags behind the exceptional performance of nearby schools in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, such as Chadds Ford Elementary and Pocopson Elementary, which rank among the top 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. Continued focus on addressing the needs of all students, especially those from low-income backgrounds and with disabilities, could help Greenwood improve its overall performance and ranking.

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.
