Tenth & Green Elementary School

Summary:

Tenth & Green Elementary School is a public elementary school in Reading, Pennsylvania, serving 564 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Reading School District, which is ranked 569 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

Tenth & Green Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania. Only 10.9% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3% and the district average of 7.4%. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic, English Language Learner, low socioeconomic status, and disabled student subgroups. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage (100%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the Reading School District, such as Lauers Park Elementary, Twelfth & Marion Elementary, and Thirteenth & Green Elementary, also have low academic performance and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, similar to Tenth & Green Elementary. However, some of these nearby schools have slightly higher academic performance and student-teacher ratios, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be influencing the school's outcomes. Additionally, Tenth & Green Elementary has an even higher percentage of Hispanic students (91.49%) compared to the nearby schools, raising questions about the educational opportunities and support available for this student population.

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.
