Lakeview Elementary School

Summary:

Lakeview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Ridley School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. However, Lakeview has a notably different student demographic compared to other schools in the district, with a higher percentage of White students and lower rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Lakeview Elementary School's academic performance is a standout, with students scoring higher on PSSA tests than the district and state averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had proficiency rates of 46.5% in Math, 75.4% in Science, and 53.5% in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 34.3%, 57.6%, and 50%, respectively, and the state's 39.3%, 65.6%, and 53.8%. This strong academic performance is reflected in the school's 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating above-average performance compared to other elementary schools in Pennsylvania.

While Lakeview's academic achievements are impressive, the school's student population is notably less diverse than its neighboring schools, such as Woodlyn Elementary and Eddystone Elementary, which have higher percentages of minority students. Additionally, Lakeview has a lower rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more economically advantaged population. This demographic difference may be a factor in the school's academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic and demographic factors can influence student outcomes.

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.
