Greystone Elementary School

Q: Is Greystone Elementary School a good school?

Greystone Elementary School ranks 509 th of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Greystone Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Chester, Pennsylvania, serving 536 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the West Chester Area School District, which is ranked 71 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Greystone has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (16.23%) compared to nearby schools, its overall academic performance, as measured by PSSA proficiency rates, is generally lower than surrounding schools, especially in Math. In 2022-2023, Greystone's Math proficiency rate was 56.2%, compared to 70.1% at East Goshen Elementary, 55.7% at Sarah W Starkweather, and 61% at Fern Hill Elementary. Greystone's performance gaps between its White students and its Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students are also noteworthy, suggesting the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of these underperforming subgroups.

Greystone's higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (25%) and lower spending per student ($15,778 in 2021-2022) compared to some nearby schools, such as Glen Acres ($18,203) and Fern Hill ($17,961), may be contributing factors to its relatively lower academic performance. Additionally, Greystone's higher student-teacher ratio (13.8 in 2022-2023) compared to schools like Fern Hill (10.5) and Mary C Howse (14.7) could be an area to explore in terms of its impact on student learning and engagement.

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.
