Nebinger George W School

Summary:

Nebinger George W School is a small elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Philadelphia City School District. While the school outperforms the district average on standardized tests, it still lags behind the state averages, suggesting systemic challenges within the broader district.

Nebinger George W School stands out for its strong performance with certain student subgroups, ranking highly among Pennsylvania elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and white students. However, the school's significant increase in spending per student over the past few years has not yet translated to commensurate improvements in overall academic proficiency. This raises questions about how the additional funding is being utilized and whether it is being directed towards the most effective interventions.

Comparing Nebinger George W School to the nearby schools, such as Fanny Jackson Coppin School, McCall Gen George A School, and Christopher Columbus Charter School, it becomes clear that the entire Philadelphia City School District is struggling, with many schools performing well below state averages in academic proficiency. This suggests systemic challenges that need to be addressed at the district level.

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.
