Summary:

Linwood, Pennsylvania is home to a single school, Linwood Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the Chichester School District, which is ranked 375 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linwood Elementary School's performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 922 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,162 out of 1,526 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, with 2 stars in 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, and only 1 star in 2023-2024. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts (ELA) were below the state averages but above the district averages in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school serves a high percentage of students (80.66%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student population.

Despite the school's overall performance being below the state average, Linwood Elementary School has some strengths, such as its relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.8 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending of $25,890 in the 2022-2023 school year suggests that resources are being allocated to support student learning, though the high spending may also indicate other challenges the school is facing. Overall, Linwood Elementary School appears to be a school with both challenges and potential, and further investigation into the factors contributing to its performance could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes in the Linwood community.
