Summary:
The 19015 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to three elementary schools: Coebourn Elementary School, Main Street School, and Parkside Elementary School. Based on the available data, Parkside Elementary emerges as the standout performer, consistently outpacing the other schools and the broader district and state averages in academic proficiency across Math, Science, and English Language Arts.
Parkside Elementary has seen steady improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 851 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 432 out of 1,526 in 2023-2024, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Main Street School appears to be the weakest performer, with proficiency rates well below the Chester-Upland School District and state averages across all subject areas. Main Street's statewide ranking has remained in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 years.
The data also reveals that spending per student does not necessarily correlate with academic performance. While Main Street School spent the most per student at $25,826, it had the worst test scores. Conversely, Parkside Elementary, which spent $16,304 per student, achieved the best results. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as student demographics and school leadership, may play a significant role in shaping academic outcomes.
