James F Baugher Elementary School

Summary:

James F Baugher Elementary School is a public elementary school in Milton, Pennsylvania, serving 529 students in grades K-4 and part of the Milton Area School District.

While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance is mixed compared to state and district averages. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were higher than the state average in science (74.8% vs. 65.6%) but lower in English Language Arts (52.7% vs. 53.8%) and math (46.8% vs. 39.3%). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (57.28%), which may contribute to its academic challenges. Compared to nearby schools like White Deer Elementary School and Mifflinburg Area Intermediate School, James F Baugher Elementary School's performance is generally lower, particularly in math and English Language Arts.

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. This suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges in improving its academic outcomes, including racial achievement gaps and socioeconomic factors. The school's leadership and the Milton Area School District should consider strategies to address these issues and provide a better educational experience for all 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.
