Stewartstown Elementary School

Summary:

Stewartstown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 425 students in grades K-4 in the South Eastern School District of Pennsylvania. The school has consistently ranked in the top half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a current ranking of 640 out of 1,526 schools for the 2023-2024 school year and a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stewartstown Elementary School outperforms the district and state in several key academic areas, including PSSA Math proficiency (56.8% vs. 46% district, 40.4% state), PSSA Science proficiency (87.2% vs. 76.1% district, 65.8% state), and PSSA English Language Arts proficiency (62.1% vs. 58.6% district, 53% state). However, the school's performance for its Low Socioeconomic Status and Disabled student subgroups is more concerning, ranking 536 and 580 out of 1,432 and 1,084 Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively, in 2023-2024. Stewartstown Elementary School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, lower than the nearby Fawn Area Elementary School (10.1) and the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Pleasant View Elementary and Clearview Elementary in the Red Lion Area School District have lower PSSA proficiency rates, while Fawn Area Elementary outperforms Stewartstown in several academic areas. Stewartstown's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (28%) compared to nearby schools suggests it may have a more advantaged student population, which could contribute to its stronger academic performance.

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.
