Neidig Elementary School

Summary:

Neidig Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 505 students in grades K-5 in the Quakertown Community School District in Pennsylvania. Despite spending more per student than the state average, Neidig has consistently underperformed both the district and the state in academic proficiency, ranking in the bottom 30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in recent years.

Neidig's struggles are evident across key metrics. Its proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also faces significant achievement gaps, with its rankings for Hispanic, White, Low-SES, and Disabled students all in the bottom 25-30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. This suggests Neidig is not effectively serving all student populations. Interestingly, neighboring schools in the Pennridge and Palisades districts outperform Neidig by 20-30 percentage points in Math and English Language Arts proficiency.

The trends at Neidig Elementary are concerning, with the school's ranking among Pennsylvania elementary schools steadily declining over the past decade. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices. The school's leadership and the Quakertown Community School District should closely examine the factors contributing to these challenges and develop a comprehensive plan to address the school's deficiencies and better support all students.

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.
