Best Public Schools in Blue Bell, PA

Summary:

The city of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools, Stony Creek Elementary School and Blue Bell Elementary School, both part of the highly-ranked Wissahickon School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are situated in an affluent community, as evidenced by the relatively low percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Stony Creek Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 10 elementary schools in Pennsylvania over the past three school years. The school has maintained an excellent 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasts impressive PSSA proficiency rates, with over 80% of students proficient or better in Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grades. In contrast, while Blue Bell Elementary School has also performed well above state averages, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the same period.

The significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($25,940 for Stony Creek vs. $20,102 for Blue Bell) may be a contributing factor to their performance gap. However, the Wissahickon School District as a whole appears to be a high-performing district, with both of its elementary schools in Blue Bell ranking in the top 5 stars and performing well above state averages on PSSA assessments.
