Westbrook Park Elementary School

Summary:

Westbrook Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania, serving 490 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Upper Darby School District, which is ranked 524 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westbrook Park Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on PSSA tests, with only 22.6% of students proficient or better in Math and 24.2% proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This likely contributes to the school's academic challenges, as it struggles to support the achievement of its student subgroups. Despite spending more per student ($14,059 in 2021-2022) than the state average, Westbrook Park Elementary's performance has not improved over the past 10 years, and it remains in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Interestingly, Westbrook Park Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than its neighboring schools within the Upper Darby School District, such as Primos Elementary and Garrettford Elementary, which serve similar student populations but outperform Westbrook Park on PSSA tests by a wide margin. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in terms of resource allocation, teacher quality, and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
