Maplewood Elementary School

Summary:

Maplewood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Townville, Pennsylvania, serving 447 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Penncrest School District, which is ranked 288 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maplewood Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 782-1111 over the past 10 years. Its performance on PSSA tests is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. The school has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status students (53.91% in 2022-2023) compared to the state and district averages, and it also has a higher percentage of white students. While Maplewood's per-student spending has increased in recent years, from $13,212 in 2019-2020 to $15,229 in 2021-2022, it is still below the spending levels of some nearby schools, such as Saegertown Elementary School and Main Street Elementary School, which also outperform Maplewood on PSSA test scores and have higher statewide rankings.

One bright spot for Maplewood Elementary School is its performance on the PSSA Science assessment, where it consistently outperforms the state and district averages, with over 70% of students scoring proficient or better. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as low socioeconomic status and disabled students, is particularly concerning, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 25-50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. Despite the increased per-student spending, Maplewood's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to 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.
