John Beck Elementary School

Summary:

John Beck Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lititz, Pennsylvania, serving 438 students in grades K-6 as part of the Warwick School District, which is ranked 178 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

John Beck Elementary School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students scoring above state and district averages on PSSA tests across all subjects and grade levels. In 2022-2023, the school ranked 588 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools, placing it in the top 38%. Its Science scores are particularly impressive, with 84.3% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 65.6%. The school also boasts an exceptional 0.0% dropout rate, a remarkable achievement. However, the school's student population is significantly more homogeneous in terms of race compared to surrounding schools, and it serves a relatively more affluent student population, with a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients than nearby schools.

When compared to other high-performing schools in the region, such as Reidenbaugh Elementary School in the Manheim Township School District, John Beck Elementary School's academic excellence is still impressive, but the performance gap narrows. This suggests that while John Beck is a strong-performing school within its district, it faces competition from other top-tier institutions in the surrounding 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.
