Indian Rock Elementary School

Summary:

Indian Rock Elementary School is a public elementary school located in York, Pennsylvania, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 355 students. The school is part of the York Suburban School District, which is ranked 63 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Indian Rock Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with its PSSA test scores significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school performs exceptionally well across different student subgroups, including Hispanic students, White students, and students with disabilities. However, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may be serving a more affluent student population compared to the surrounding York City School District.

In contrast, the nearby Devers School performs significantly lower than Indian Rock Elementary School, while the Leaders Heights Elementary School, which is part of the Dallastown Area School District, performs on par with Indian Rock Elementary School in Math and English Language Arts. This suggests that Indian Rock Elementary School is a standout in the region, but its ability to effectively support students from disadvantaged backgrounds warrants further investigation to ensure equitable educational opportunities.

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.
