It is part of the Penn-Delco School District, which is ranked 278 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coebourn Elementary School generally performs better than the state average in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Coebourn's proficiency rates were 46% in math (vs. state average of 40.4%), 78.9% in science (vs. state average of 65.8%), and 51% in English Language Arts (vs. state average of 53%). This trend of outperforming the state average has been consistent over the past few years. Additionally, Coebourn has a relatively strong performance among certain student subgroups, such as disabled students and low socioeconomic status students, compared to the state.

However, Coebourn Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 304 out of 1,467 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2013-2014 (rated 4 stars) to 848 out of 1,526 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars), suggesting that the school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent. When compared to other nearby schools in the Penn-Delco School District, such as Aston Elementary School and Pennell Elementary School, Coebourn generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and school rankings. It's important to note that Coebourn has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to its performance.

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.
