W B Evans Elementary School

Summary:

W B Evans Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school located in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 319 students. The school is part of the William Penn School District, which is ranked 533 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a low-performing school district, W B Evans Elementary School is able to significantly outperform the district average in academic subjects, particularly in the early grades. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, but 37.4% of its students were proficient or better in PSSA/English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to only 28.1% for the William Penn School District. The school also outperforms the district in PSSA/Math and PSSA/Science, with 28.8% and 69% proficiency rates, respectively, compared to 14.9% and 41.5% for the district. This suggests that W B Evans Elementary School may have effective teaching practices, curriculum, or other resources that are helping students succeed despite the challenges faced by the broader district.

Another notable aspect of W B Evans Elementary School is the exceptional performance of its African American students, who rank in the top 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for this subgroup. This could indicate that the school has implemented strategies or programs that are effectively supporting the academic achievement of its African American students, who often struggle in many schools across the state. However, the school's proficiency rates tend to decline in the upper elementary grades, particularly in PSSA/Math, suggesting that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum and instructional practices in the later elementary grades to maintain the high levels of achievement seen in the earlier grades.

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.
