Summary:
East Lansdowne, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, East Lansdowne Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and has 283 students enrolled. The school is part of the William Penn School District, which is ranked 533 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5 star rating.
East Lansdowne Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with proficiency rates well below the state average across all subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 20.2% in Math (vs. state average of 40.4%), 57.2% in Science (vs. state average of 65.8%), and 29.7% in English Language Arts (vs. state average of 53%). This suggests the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
Further, 100% of students at East Lansdowne Elementary School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $18,582 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6, it continues to underperform. This suggests that simply increasing funding and resources may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and the district and school may need to examine how these resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning.
