Line Mountain Elementary School

Summary:

Line Mountain Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 368 students in grades PK-4 in Trevorton, Pennsylvania, which is part of the Line Mountain School District. The school has shown mixed academic performance, with some bright spots in 4th grade Science proficiency but overall declining performance compared to the state and nearby schools like Hartman Elementary Center and Selinsgrove Area Elementary School.

One key differentiator is Line Mountain Elementary School's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 40-50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than some nearby schools. This may be contributing to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional barriers to success. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, is notably lower than the overall school performance.

Despite these challenges, Line Mountain Elementary School has shown some academic strengths, particularly in 4th grade Science where the school has consistently outperformed the state with proficiency rates around 80-85% compared to the state's 74-77%. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school's academic performance may be struggling compared to other schools in Pennsylvania.

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.
