Hannah Penn

Summary:

Hannah Penn is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in York, Pennsylvania, which is part of the York City School District. With a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, Hannah Penn faces significant academic challenges.

The school's performance on PSSA assessments is strikingly low, with only 4.7% of students proficient or better in Math and 10.9% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. Hannah Penn's struggles are particularly pronounced in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 0-8.7% across grade levels. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged (100% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and minority (73% African American or Hispanic) students likely contributes to these academic challenges.

While other York City School District schools, such as Devers School and McKinley School, also perform poorly, they tend to outperform Hannah Penn. In contrast, the nearby East York Elementary School, which is part of the York Suburban School District, demonstrates significantly higher academic performance, with 67.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 61.6% in Math. This disparity suggests that factors within the school system, such as leadership, instructional practices, and resource allocation, may be playing a significant role in student 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.
