East Hanover Elementary School

Summary:

East Hanover Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Grantville, PA, serving 348 students in grades K-5 as part of the Lower Dauphin School District. The school has consistently maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating stable academic performance.

Compared to the district and state, East Hanover Elementary generally performs better on PSSA assessments, with 51.4% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 49.8% for the district and 40.4% for Pennsylvania. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and white students and those of low socioeconomic status performing lower than the overall school ranking. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.

Comparing East Hanover Elementary to nearby schools, such as the higher-performing Hershey Primary and Hershey Intermediate, as well as the lower-performing Paxtonia Elementary and Linglestown Elementary, provides valuable insights into the broader educational landscape in the region. The school's increase in per-student spending and fluctuations in student-teacher ratio suggest ongoing efforts to support student learning, though the impact of these investments on academic outcomes may warrant further analysis.

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.
