Unionville Elementary School

Summary:

Unionville Elementary School is a highly-regarded public elementary school in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, serving 346 students in grades K-5. As part of the top-ranked Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, Unionville Elementary consistently performs among the best elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic achievement and student proficiency rates.

Unionville Elementary's students demonstrate remarkably high proficiency on state assessments, with 75.3% proficient in math (compared to 39.3% statewide), 96.2% in science (65.6% statewide), and 80% in English language arts (53.8% statewide). The school's academic performance has ranked between 15th and 223rd out of over 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, and it currently holds a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's student population is predominantly White (80.92%), with a low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (6.94%), suggesting a more affluent and less diverse student body compared to nearby schools in the Kennett Consolidated School District.

Unionville Elementary's high per-student spending of $29,139 (above the state average) and exceptional academic performance highlight the resources and educational quality available to its students. While the school's achievements are impressive, the significant disparities in performance and socioeconomic indicators between Unionville Elementary and some of the surrounding schools in less affluent districts may raise concerns about educational equity and the distribution of resources within the broader region.

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.
