Williamsburg Community Elementary School

Summary:

Williamsburg Community Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 236 students in grades K-6 in Williamsburg, PA. The school is part of the Juniata Valley School District, which is ranked 313 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Williamsburg Community Elementary School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.46%) compared to nearby schools, which have more racial diversity. The school performs better than the state average in PSSA Science (94.5% proficient or better) and English Language Arts (55.4% proficient or better), but its Math scores (39.7% proficient or better) are slightly below the state average. With a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (52.54%), the school faces challenges related to poverty. Its student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is lower than some nearby schools, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention.

Compared to other local elementary schools, such as Penn-Lincoln Elementary School, Pleasant Valley Elementary School, and Baker Elementary School, Williamsburg Community Elementary School has a unique profile. While it excels in Science and ELA, its Math performance lags behind, and its high poverty rates and fluctuating school rankings over the years suggest areas for improvement. Understanding these nuances can help parents make informed decisions about their child's education.

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.
