Baresville Elementary School

Summary:

Baresville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hanover, Pennsylvania, serving 554 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the South Western School District, which is ranked 218 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Baresville Elementary School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (82.67%) compared to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Hanover Street Elementary School and Washington Elementary School. Additionally, Baresville's PSSA test scores in Math, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the South Western School District and Pennsylvania state averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (47.65%) and a higher student-teacher ratio (15.1) compared to other schools in the district.

These factors suggest that Baresville Elementary School may be facing challenges in effectively preparing its students for academic success. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 451 out of 1,474 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 790 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating in the most recent year. To address these issues, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly in the areas of Math and English Language Arts, as well as strategies to promote greater diversity and inclusion within the student population and provide additional resources for students from lower-income families.

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.
