Summary:

Pleasantville Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state in academic performance, with 52% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 33.7% for the district and 39.3% for the state. The school's PSSA Science performance is particularly impressive, with 87.2% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (62.6%) and state (65.6%) averages. However, the school's PSSA English Language Arts proficiency rate of 51.5% is still above the district and state, but not as high as its Math and Science scores.

Despite the school's strong academic performance, it faces some challenges. Pleasantville Elementary has a high percentage of students (68.87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the school's lack of racial diversity, with only 2.36% Hispanic and 3.77% two or more races, may limit the educational experience for students. The school's ranking and rating have also fluctuated over the years, ranging from 2 to 4 stars out of 5 on SchoolDigger, suggesting that factors beyond just academic achievement may be influencing the school's performance.

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.
