Delta-Peach Bottom Elementary School

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.

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.
