Victory Elementary School

Summary:

Victory Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Harrisville, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 223 students. The school is part of the Franklin Area School District, which is ranked 391 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,481 and low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5 students per teacher, Victory Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,088 and 1,177 out of 1,526-1,534 schools over the past 5 school years. The school's performance on PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 19.9% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and 34.2% proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Additionally, the school's low performance for White students and students with disabilities suggests that targeted interventions and support programs may be needed to address the unique needs of these student subgroups. Despite the school's resource allocation, the persistent low performance indicates a need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement to provide a high-quality education for all students.

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.
