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.

So, I've seen several complaints about the redistrictiing across these sites. That didn't bother me so much. It kinda sucked but I understand why it had to happen. But having my two boys at a new school was eye opening... as to how poor West Vincent is. At our new school, information is actually communicated ahead of time. As a parent, I know what's going on. No more emails sent five minutes before the event starts. No more rude, officious front desk. To me, it all comes down to the principal. West Vincent's problem stem from the top, and in the end, this redistricting was a blessing in disguise. Close Quote

To many students for one teacher. A lot of bullying by parents and children. I put my child on a private school. Happy now. Close Quote

As a parent that newly moved to this area, we really love this elementary school. Brand new facility, nice teachers, nice parents. More and more highly-educated families are moving to Chester Springs area. I am confident that this school district will be better and better. Close Quote

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.
