Summary:

John R Bonfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lititz, Pennsylvania, serving 476 students in grades K-6 as part of the Warwick School District, which is ranked 178 out of 606 school districts in the state.

While John R Bonfield maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its performance is somewhat mixed compared to nearby schools. The school has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (13.66%) and students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (44.75%) than its neighbors, which range from 3.88% to 14.75% Hispanic and 26.48% to 37.72% free/reduced lunch. Academically, John R Bonfield's math proficiency rates (49.6%) lag behind John Beck (53.4%), Lititz Elementary (55.2%), and Kissel Hill Elementary (52.7%), but its science proficiency (75.8%) exceeds the district and state averages.

Despite these differences, John R Bonfield spends $14,200 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools like Doe Run Elementary ($17,625) and Neff School ($14,818). The school's performance is relatively consistent over time, and it ranks higher for its subgroups of disabled students, but lower for its white and low-income students. As such, the school may want to focus on strategies to better support its Hispanic and economically disadvantaged populations to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
