Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19033

Summary:

The 19033 zip code area is home to two schools - Ridley High School and Edgewood Elementary School, both part of the Ridley School District. While Ridley High School has seen fluctuating performance, ranking 333 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools in 2023-2024, Edgewood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom third of the state's elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridley High School boasts a relatively large enrollment of 1,869 students and a solid graduation rate of 87.5%, but its performance in Keystone Exam proficiency is mixed, with above-average scores in Literature but slightly below-average in Algebra I and Biology. In contrast, Edgewood Elementary School, with 357 students, performs above the district and state averages in PSSA Science proficiency but struggles in Math and English Language Arts.

Both schools face similar socioeconomic challenges, with around 48-49% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The Ridley School District as a whole is ranked 382 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While the per-student spending and student-teacher ratios are comparable between the high school and elementary school, addressing the performance gaps and ensuring equitable access to resources could be key focus areas for the district.
