Baron Elementary School

Summary:

Baron Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Manheim, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 342 students. It is part of the Manheim Central School District, which is ranked 271 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Baron Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 2-star rating, the school's performance on PSSA tests is mixed. Its proficiency rates in Math (40.4%) and English Language Arts (50.4%) were lower than the district and state averages, but its Science proficiency rate (87%) was significantly higher. The school also has a higher percentage of Hispanic students and a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to other schools in the state.

Interestingly, Doe Run Elementary School, another school in the Manheim Central School District, outperforms Baron Elementary School on most PSSA metrics. Additionally, Neff School and Reidenbaugh Elementary School, both part of the higher-ranked Manheim Township School District, significantly outperform Baron Elementary School on PSSA tests and have higher SchoolDigger rankings. However, Baron Elementary School's higher per-student spending and relatively high student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is investing resources to support the needs of its students.

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.
