William Penn Elementary, part of the Elizabeth Forward School District, ranks 392 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Additionally, William Penn has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more affluent student population.
In contrast, the Ringgold schools in the 15063 zip code area generally lag behind in academic performance, with the high school standing out for its higher-than-average graduation rate of 88.8% and lower dropout rate of 2.1%. However, the district as a whole is ranked 448 out of 606 in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating, which likely contributes to the lower performance of its individual schools. These disparities highlight the importance of factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and community engagement, in driving student success.
