Summary:
The city of Eddystone, Pennsylvania has only one school, Eddystone Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 241 students. The school is part of the Ridley School District and has a diverse student population, with 36.93% White, 36.1% African American, 12.03% Hispanic, 3.73% Asian, and 11.2% two or more races.
Despite the school's diverse student body and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, Eddystone Elementary School's academic performance is consistently lower than the district and state averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 28.6% in Math, 56.8% in Science, and 28.8% in English Language Arts, all of which are significantly below the district and state levels. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the school's extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 92.12%.
While the school district spends $21,543 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, the low test scores raise questions about how the resources are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning. However, the school's diverse student population and low student-teacher ratio suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and interventions, which could help the school better meet the needs of all its students.
