Summary:
The city of Boothwyn, Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools that are part of the Chichester School District, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 89.86% to 99.63%.
Chichester Senior High School stands out for its relatively high four-year graduation rate of 86.9% and diverse student population, with 49.7% white, 30.02% African American, and 9.24% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance on Keystone Exams is generally below state averages. In contrast, Boothwyn Elementary School excels academically, with PSSA test scores in Math and Science that exceed district and state averages, despite having the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients among the 3 schools.
Overall, the Chichester School District appears to be struggling academically, with most schools performing below state averages on standardized tests. The district's low ranking (390 out of 606) and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger reflect these challenges. However, the higher per-student spending at Boothwyn Elementary School may contribute to its stronger academic performance, suggesting that targeted investment in high-need schools could help improve outcomes across the district.
