Oak Park Elementary School

Summary:

Oak Park Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lansing, Pennsylvania, serving 536 students in grades K-6. It is part of the North Penn School District, which is ranked 141 out of 610 school districts in the state.

While Oak Park Elementary School has a diverse student population, with significant percentages of Asian, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, its academic performance on PSSA tests tends to be below the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 46.8% of Oak Park students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 53.4% for the North Penn School District and 40.4% for Pennsylvania. Similarly, 48% of Oak Park students were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 63.4% for the district and 53% for the state. However, the school's Hispanic and multi-racial students perform relatively well, with rankings in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in these categories.

When compared to other nearby schools within the North Penn School District, Gwyn-Nor Elementary School, Bridle Path Elementary School, and Gwynedd Square Elementary School all outperform Oak Park on PSSA tests and have higher rankings within the state. However, Oak Park does perform better than some other nearby schools, such as Hatfield Elementary School and Kulp Elementary School, on certain metrics. With a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Oak Park Elementary School may have opportunities to optimize its resources and address the specific challenges faced by its diverse student population.

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.
