Summary:
Delta-Peach Bottom Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 275 students in grades K-4 in the South Eastern School District of Pennsylvania. Over the past 10 years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly, currently ranking 978 out of around 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Delta-Peach Bottom Elementary School's performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 42.2% in ELA, 48.3% in Math, and 76.1% in Science, compared to the state averages of 53%, 40.4%, and 65.8%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly weak for White students and students with disabilities, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for these subgroups. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Stewartstown Elementary and Fawn Area Elementary, Delta-Peach Bottom Elementary lags behind in academic proficiency across all subjects.
The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.73% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, may contribute to its academic challenges. While the school's per-student spending of $19,999 in 2021-2022 is higher than the state average, it is lower than some nearby schools, suggesting potential resource allocation challenges. Addressing these issues, including inconsistent academic performance, subgroup disparities, and underperformance compared to nearby schools, will likely require a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for specific student populations.
