Lynnewood Elementary School

Summary:

Lynnewood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Havertown, Pennsylvania, serving 588 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Haverford Township School District, which is ranked 19th out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Lynnewood Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in PSSA test scores, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state in Math (67.1% vs. 40.4%), Science (87.2% vs. 65.8%), and English Language Arts (80.6% vs. 53%). The school also performs exceptionally well for student subgroups, ranking in the top 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for male students and students with disabilities. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (17.18%) suggests it may not be as diverse as some nearby schools, such as Hillcrest Elementary School in the Upper Darby School District, which has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate.

While Lynnewood Elementary School is a top-performing school, it is not necessarily the best in the area. Other schools in the Haverford Township School District, such as Coopertown Elementary School and Chatham Park Elementary School, have higher PSSA proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings in some subject areas and grade levels. Nevertheless, Lynnewood's consistent high performance and increased funding over the years suggest it remains a top-tier educational institution in the region.

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.

Open Quote Absolutely the worst principal - uncaring, insincere, self-serving, disinterested. I would never recommend this school unless the district replaced her. She does not believe that she is responsible for the students in her care. Close Quote

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.
