Snyder Elementary School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.17%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 93.5% to 97.14% white students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Math (34.3%) and English Language Arts (43.8%) are below the state averages of 39.3% and 53.8%, respectively. Additionally, Snyder Elementary has a very high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, ranging from 47.67% to 100%.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $17,508 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the nearby schools, Snyder Elementary's academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 653 out of 1,433 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,023 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as white students, low-socioeconomic status students, and disabled students, is particularly low, with rankings in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools. These factors suggest that Snyder Elementary faces unique challenges in providing quality education to 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.
