Summary

Rupert Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Pottstown School District, which is ranked 465 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rupert Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores for Math and English Language Arts (ELA). For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 35.7% in Math and 41.3% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools in the Pottstown School District. As a result, Rupert Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,058 and 1,243 out of 1,511 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

However, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups. While the school performs relatively well for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top 15% and top 30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively, it struggles with White and disabled students, ranking in the bottom 10% and bottom 3% of schools, respectively. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of each group. When compared to other elementary schools in the Pottstown School District and the surrounding area, such as Barth Elementary School, Rupert Elementary School generally underperforms, indicating that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the region.

Thursday, March 17, 2011

Devoted staff. This school is outdated & unable to handle some of the most basic needs of students. While the staff is devoted to the kids they have few resources. Lack of parental involvement, in some cases, detracts from overall learning experiences for some with frequent disciplinary issues needing attention. Curricula seems to be behind higher ranking schools. Close Quote
