Summary

Barclay Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Warrington, PA, serving 685 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Central Bucks School District, which is ranked 34th out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barclay's academic performance, while generally lower than the district and state averages in Math and English Language Arts (ELA), particularly in the upper grades, stands out for its strong Science proficiency rates around 90%. However, the school faces some challenges, with male students outperforming female students, and Asian and White students performing better than Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students. Students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds also have lower rankings compared to their peers. Barclay's per-student spending has increased, and the student-teacher ratio has decreased, indicating a focus on improving educational outcomes.

Compared to other Central Bucks School District elementary schools, such as Bridge Valley, Mill Creek, and Kutz, Barclay's academic performance is generally lower. However, Barclay outperforms nearby schools in the Hatboro-Horsham School District, such as Hallowell and Simmons. Barclay's higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests it serves a more economically diverse student population, which may contribute to its relatively lower academic performance compared to other schools in the district.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013

This school is excellent. From academics to activities, this school has so much to offer. My daughter has learned and improved so much just after one year at Barclay. I love the focus that her teacher puts on learning and behavior. The teachers and parents are so caring and willing to help if needed. I'm so proud my daughter is a Barclay student. Close Quote
