Amosland Elementary School

Summary:

Amosland Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Morton, PA, serving 443 students in the Ridley School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (69.75%), along with significant percentages of African American (14.45%), Asian (6.09%), and students of two or more races (4.97%).

Amosland Elementary consistently outperforms the Ridley School District and the state of Pennsylvania in academic proficiency, with higher proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts. However, the school's African American students significantly outperform its White students, ranking 93 out of 437 Pennsylvania elementary schools in this subgroup, while the White students rank 875 out of 1,236. Amosland also has a relatively high per-student spending of $20,455, compared to the state average of $17,436, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.3, compared to the district and state averages.

While Amosland's academic performance is strong, its statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, from 564 out of 1,433 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 825 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in keeping up with the performance of other schools across the state. When compared to nearby schools, Amosland outperforms Leedom Elementary and Edgewood Elementary, but the nearby Swarthmore-Rutledge School in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District significantly outperforms Amosland across all academic measures.

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.
