The school is part of the Marple Newtown School District, which is ranked 79 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Loomis Elementary consistently ranks among the top Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a statewide ranking of 273 out of 1,526 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's PSSA test scores are significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with 75.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53%. Loomis Elementary's performance is also strong compared to the Marple Newtown School District, with higher proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. The school's focus on equity is evident in its strong performance across different student subgroups, particularly for disabled students, who ranked 130 out of 1,084 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024.

Loomis Elementary School's higher per-student spending of $18,761 in the 2021-2022 school year and lower student-teacher ratio of around 13:1 suggest a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance. When compared to nearby schools within the Marple Newtown School District, such as Worrall Elementary and Russell Elementary, Loomis Elementary consistently ranks higher in statewide comparisons and has higher proficiency rates. However, the gap narrows when compared to schools outside the district, such as Chatham Park Elementary and Scenic Hills Elementary, which also demonstrate exceptional academic achievement.

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.
