Nottingham School

Summary:

Nottingham School is an elementary school in Oxford, PA, serving 447 students in grades 3-4 and part of the Oxford Area School District, which is ranked 371 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania.

Nottingham School stands out for its high percentage of Hispanic students (37.81%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 23.98% to 53.81% Hispanic students. The school also outperforms the district and state in PSSA test scores for Math (51.2% proficient or better) and Science (79.1% proficient or better). However, Nottingham School has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.21% to 100% over the past three years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. Despite this, the school has the highest spending per student ($19,982 to $24,580) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio (10.6 to 11.5) compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to its academic success.

In contrast, schools like New Garden Elementary and Bancroft Elementary, which are part of the Kennett Consolidated School District, have higher overall academic performance and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This highlights the potential impact of district-level factors on school performance, even in schools serving similar demographics.

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.
