Richboro Elementary School

Summary:

Richboro Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 369 students in grades K-6 in the Council Rock School District in Richboro, Pennsylvania. The school has consistently been ranked in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 4-star rating out of 5, and is part of the highly-rated Council Rock School District, which is ranked 53 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Richboro Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average on PSSA assessments in Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 60.5% of Richboro students were proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school also performs well above the district average in many subject areas and has strong performance among its subgroups, ranking in the top 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for its disabled student population. Additionally, Richboro Elementary has relatively low free and reduced lunch rates compared to the state, ranging from 9.4% to 12.2% over the past 3 years, suggesting it serves a more affluent student population.

While Richboro Elementary is a consistently high-performing school, it is not the top performer in its district. Schools like Wrightstown Elementary, Newtown Elementary, and Hillcrest Elementary all outperform Richboro on many metrics, especially in Math and Science. This suggests Richboro is a strong school, but there are even higher-performing options within the same Council Rock School District. The school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average may be a factor in its academic success, allowing it to provide more support, smaller class sizes, and enhanced educational programs.

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.
