Level Green Elementary School

Summary:

Level Green Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Trafford, Pennsylvania, serving 259 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Penn-Trafford School District, which is ranked 21 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Level Green Elementary consistently ranks among the top Pennsylvania elementary schools, with PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates were 68.5% in Math, 80.4% in Science, and 71.2% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39.3%, 65.6%, and 53.8%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 4th grade PSSA tests, where proficiency rates exceed 70% in all subject areas. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.66%) compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Ramsey Elementary School and Trafford Elementary School, which have more diverse student populations.

The relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Level Green Elementary (18.92%) suggests that the school serves a more affluent population compared to nearby schools, such as Dr Cleveland Steward Junior Elementary School (100% free or reduced-price lunch) and McCullough Elementary School (100% free or reduced-price lunch). This socioeconomic factor may be a contributing factor to the school's strong academic performance, but it also raises concerns about equity and access to high-quality education for all students, regardless of their background.

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.
