Summary:
The Southeast Delco School District in Pennsylvania is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools face significant challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty levels, and potential funding disparities.
Among the standout schools, Darby Township School ranks the highest in the district, at 1200 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools. It has the highest proficiency rates in Math (21.1% vs. district 16.8%) and Science (47.2% vs. district 43.1%) across all grades, and also outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency. Delcroft School is the second-highest ranked school in the district, with the second-highest proficiency rates in Math and Science.
However, the district as a whole significantly underperforms the state averages in Math and English Language Arts proficiency. This suggests systemic challenges within the Southeast Delco School District that are impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 99.67% to 100% across 4 out of 5 schools, indicate that the student population faces significant economic disadvantages, which likely contribute to the academic performance challenges observed.
