Decatur Stephen School

Summary:

Decatur Stephen School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA that serves 889 students in grades K-8. As part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania, Decatur Stephen has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 867 out of 1,526 schools and a 2-star rating.

Decatur Stephen School's performance is a mixed bag - it outperforms the district and state in most PSSA subject areas and grade levels, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. However, the school lags behind the state in PSSA Math, and its White and Disabled student subgroups perform in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania schools. The school's high poverty rate, as evidenced by its over 99% free or reduced-price lunch population, likely contributes to the challenges it faces in student achievement. Despite the increase in per-student spending and improvement in student-teacher ratio over time, the school's results remain uneven.

Compared to nearby schools in the Philadelphia City School District and the Bensalem Township School District, Decatur Stephen generally performs better than the lowest-performing schools in the area, but still lags behind the higher-performing schools. The school's fluctuating dropout rates are also a concern and indicate the need for more consistent student support and engagement strategies.

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.
