Summary:

B F Morey Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 221 students in grades K-4 in the Stroudsburg Area School District in Pennsylvania. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools.

Despite having the highest per-student spending in the district at $31,376, B F Morey Elementary School has consistently underperformed on state assessments, with only 37.3% of students proficient in Math and English Language Arts, compared to 41.7% and 51.7% for the district, and 39.3% and 53.8% for the state, respectively. The school's performance on Science assessments was better, with 71.4% of students scoring proficient or better. However, the school's academic performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 722 out of 1,544 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,105 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023. This is in contrast to the nearby Chipperfield Elementary and Arlington Heights Elementary schools, which have maintained or slightly improved their rankings during the same period.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at B F Morey Elementary School, with 65.61% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, is significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Stroudsburg Area School District, such as Chipperfield Elementary (55.65%) and Arlington Heights Elementary (67.69%). This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student demographics, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.

My children (grades K & 2) are both new to the Stroudsburg School District this year. We absolutely love Morey Elementary. They make our children work hard at learning what they need to. They make it a fun & nurturing enviornment as well. They teach responsibility & respect, kindness & caring. Parent involvement is strongly encouraged & the PTA holds functions throughout the year so that parents can be involved in the school & meet the children our kids go to school with. I would recommend this school to anyone! Close Quote

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.
