Amanda E Stout Elementary School

Summary:

Amanda E Stout Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 784 students in grades PK-4 in the Reading School District in Pennsylvania. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.7% of students were proficient in math compared to the 40.4% state average, and just 18.5% were proficient in ELA compared to the 53% state average. Additionally, Amanda E Stout has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and reports $0 spending per student, which is extremely low compared to the state average. When comparing the school to other Reading School District elementary schools, such as Tyson-Schoener Elementary and Thirteenth & Green Elementary, Amanda E Stout consistently performs worse academically.

The data for Amanda E Stout Elementary School suggests a chronically underperforming school that is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's consistently low rankings, poor academic outcomes, and lack of improvement over time indicate the need for significant interventions and support from the district and state to address the root causes of the school's challenges. Addressing these issues will require a concerted, multi-faceted effort from the school, district, and community stakeholders to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to succeed.

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.
