Neason Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Neason Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Meadville, Pennsylvania, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 336 students. The school is part of the Crawford Central School District, which is ranked 333 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neason Hill Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores for Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school struggles to support its student subgroups, particularly White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom quartile of Pennsylvania elementary schools for these subgroups. With an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has a high concentration of students from low-income families. While the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are relatively low, these factors do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

When comparing Neason Hill Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Crawford Central School District, such as Cochranton Elementary School and West End Elementary School, it becomes evident that Neason Hill is consistently one of the lower-performing schools in the district. The school's high poverty rates and struggles to support its student subgroups may be contributing factors to its underperformance, presenting an opportunity for the district and school leadership to identify and address the root causes of the school's challenges.

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.
