Tenth & Green Elementary School

Summary:

Tenth & Green Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 564 students in grades PK-4 in the Reading School District in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests.

Tenth & Green Elementary School's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates on PSSA tests well below the state averages in math, science, and English language arts. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, and it ranks particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male and female students. Nearby schools in the Reading School District, such as Lauers Park Elementary, Twelfth & Marion Elementary, and Thirteenth & Green Elementary, also perform poorly, but Tenth & Green appears to be the lowest-performing school in the district.

One potential factor contributing to Tenth & Green's poor academic performance is the severe lack of funding and resources, as the school has reported $0 per-student spending for the past few years. This lack of funding likely limits the school's ability to provide necessary educational resources, professional development for teachers, and targeted interventions for struggling students. Addressing these underlying issues may be crucial in improving the school's academic performance and providing a high-quality education for its 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.
