Londonderry Elementary School

Summary:

Londonderry Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Lower Dauphin School District in Middletown, Pennsylvania. The school has 222 students and has been rated 2-3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger in recent years, ranking in the middle to lower range among Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Londonderry Elementary School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA Math for all grades was 50%, compared to 49.8% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school's performance is especially weak for White students and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school performs better for students with disabilities, ranking in the top quartile for this subgroup. The school has a relatively high per-student spending of around $16,600 and a low student-teacher ratio of around 9-10 students per teacher.

Londonderry Elementary School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the 300s and 800s over the past decade. This suggests the school may be struggling to maintain consistent academic progress and improvement. Nearby schools like Nye Elementary and Conewago Elementary, which are also part of the Lower Dauphin School District, generally outperform Londonderry Elementary in academic proficiency rates, suggesting there may be opportunities for Londonderry to learn from the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts within the same 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.

Open Quote School treats parents like were idiots. I've heard from others they had bad experiences as well. They complain and boss parents around but as soon as something happens to your child they all lie to cover it and act like nothing happen. I am pulling one child. I may remove another one to cyber school. 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.
