Summary:

According to the data, the school has been consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a current ranking of 779 out of 1,526 schools and a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Mill Hall Elementary School's overall ranking has fluctuated over the years, it has maintained a consistent level of academic performance, particularly in PSSA Math and Science, where it outperforms the district and state averages. However, the school lags behind the district and state in PSSA English Language Arts proficiency. The performance differences between student subgroups, such as gender and socioeconomic status, highlight the need to address any underlying factors that may be contributing to these gaps. Interestingly, the school's disabled students perform exceptionally well, ranking 278 out of 1,043 PA elementary schools (4 stars).

The increased per-student spending and reduced student-teacher ratio at Mill Hall Elementary School suggest that the Keystone Central School District is investing more resources into the school, which may be contributing to its stronger academic performance compared to the district and state averages. When compared to the nearby schools in the district, Mill Hall Elementary School generally outperforms its peers in academic performance, particularly in PSSA Math and Science, indicating the school may have effective teaching practices and curriculum that could be shared with other schools in the district.

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.
