Summary:

Evergreen Elementary School is a top-performing public elementary school in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, serving 510 students in grades K-5 and part of the highly-ranked Perkiomen Valley School District. This exceptional school consistently outshines state and district averages in academic achievement, with impressive proficiency rates on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) tests.

Evergreen Elementary's academic prowess is evident across all student subgroups, including female, male, white, low-income, and disabled students. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 88 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its PSSA Math proficiency rate of 74.2% far exceeds the district's 58.2% and the state's 40.4%, while its English Language Arts proficiency of 81.9% is also significantly higher than the district's 75.5% and the state's 53%.

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.
