Eddystone Elementary School

Summary:

Eddystone Elementary School is a public K-5 school in the Ridley School District in Pennsylvania, serving 241 students with a diverse population of 36.93% White, 36.1% African American, 12.03% Hispanic, and 3.73% Asian students.

While Grace Park, Leedom, and Lakeview elementary schools in the Ridley district perform well, Eddystone Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage of low-income students, at 92.12%, nearly double the district average.

While Eddystone's African American students perform relatively well, the school's White, low-income, and disabled student populations all struggle academically, with proficiency rates in the bottom quarter of the state. Additionally, Eddystone has seen a steady decline in its White student population over the past few years, coinciding with an increase in African American and Hispanic students. These significant achievement gaps and demographic shifts suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges facing the Eddystone community.

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.
