Summary:
The city of Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania has only one public elementary school, Westbrook Park Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Upper Darby School District, which is ranked 482 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Westbrook Park Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 41.02% White, 37.76% African American, 7.96% Hispanic, and 2.65% Asian students. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 years, ranking 1213 out of 1534 in the most recent school year. This is reflected in the school's test scores, which lag behind both the Upper Darby School District and the state of Pennsylvania averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, only 24.7% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 19.4% for the district and 39.3% for the state.
The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (100%) at Westbrook Park Elementary School suggests that the school is serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged community. While the school spends $14,059 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a student-teacher ratio of 15.6, which is slightly lower than the national average, these factors have not translated into improved academic performance. This indicates that additional resources and targeted interventions may be necessary to help improve student outcomes at Westbrook Park Elementary School.
