Summary:

Evans Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Spring-Ford Area School District in Limerick, PA. With 559 students, the school has a diverse student population and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Evans Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with PSSA test scores significantly higher than state averages across all subjects and grade levels. In 2022-2023, 72.6% of students were proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39.3% and 53.8%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, suggesting a more favorable learning environment with smaller class sizes. However, while Evans Elementary has a diverse student population, it has a higher percentage of White students (75.85%) compared to nearby schools, which could indicate a lack of racial diversity.

Compared to other schools in the area, such as Royersford Elementary (39.42% free/reduced-price lunch) and Spring City Elementary (47.77% free/reduced-price lunch), Evans Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (15.74%), indicating a higher socioeconomic status of the student population. This, combined with the school's strong academic performance and favorable student-teacher ratio, suggests that Evans Elementary may be a desirable choice for families in the area.

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.
