Hambright Elementary School

Summary:

Hambright Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, serving 594 students in grades K-6 and part of the Penn Manor School District. The school has shown consistent improvement in its academic performance, with students scoring above the state average in Math, Science, and English Language Arts (ELA).

Hambright's standout performance is particularly notable for its Hispanic and African American students, who rank in the top 5% and top 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 60.44% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Hambright's strong performance may be a reflection of the overall quality of the Penn Manor School District, as the school's metrics are generally on par with or better than other schools in the district, such as Eshleman Elementary and Central Manor Elementary.

However, when compared to schools in the higher-performing Hempfield School District, such as Centerville Elementary and Mountville Elementary, Hambright lags behind in some key metrics, such as Math and ELA proficiency. This suggests that while Hambright is a strong-performing school, there may still be opportunities for improvement, particularly in Math, that the school and district may want to address.

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.
