Summary

Paul V Fly Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Norristown, Pennsylvania, serving 461 students in grades K-4. The school is part of the Norristown Area School District, which is ranked 497 out of 606 districts in the state.

While Paul V Fly Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, there are some bright spots. The school's performance on the PSSA Science test is relatively stronger, with 4th-grade students consistently scoring above the state average. Additionally, the school's African American students have performed exceptionally well on the PSSA Math test, ranking in the top 5-10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in this subgroup. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students have struggled, with their performance on PSSA tests ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools in these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, Stony Creek Elementary, Woodland Elementary, and Worcester Elementary in the neighboring Wissahickon and Methacton school districts significantly outperform Paul V Fly Elementary on academic measures, with much higher proficiency rates on PSSA tests. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes at Paul V Fly Elementary, the school's overall academic performance remains below average, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the school's challenges.
