Morrisville Intermediate School

Q: Is Morrisville Intermediate School a good school?

Morrisville Intermediate School ranks 1146 th of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Morrisville Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Morrisville Borough School District in Pennsylvania, with a diverse student population of 209 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, Morrisville Intermediate consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on PSSA tests across all grades and subjects. This low academic performance is particularly concerning given the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall student body, they still lag behind their peers statewide, and the school's White students and students with disabilities perform especially poorly, ranking in the bottom 15% and bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively.

Interestingly, the nearby Grandview Elementary School, which serves grades K-2 in the same district, has a similar racial and socioeconomic makeup to Morrisville Intermediate but significantly better academic outcomes. Additionally, the Pennsbury School District, which includes several nearby elementary schools, consistently outperforms the Morrisville Borough School District on academic measures, suggesting that the challenges faced by Morrisville Intermediate may be systemic within the district. While the school's small size and high per-student spending could present opportunities for targeted interventions, the persistent underperformance across multiple years and subgroups suggests that significant, systemic changes may be necessary to drive meaningful improvement.

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.
