Summary:
The city of Primos, Pennsylvania has only one public elementary school, Primos Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Upper Darby School District. The district is ranked 519 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Primos Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with only 36.6% and 33.7% of students scoring proficient or advanced in these subjects, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's 4th-grade Science proficiency rate of 67.3% in 2023-2024 was significantly higher than the district (55.2%) and state (77.1%) averages, suggesting potential strengths in science education. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100%) indicates a student population from a low-income background, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces.
Despite the school's underperformance in Math and ELA, it has access to relatively strong funding and resources, with a per-student spending of $18,292 in the 2022-2023 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 in the 2023-2024 school year. These resources could potentially be leveraged to improve academic outcomes, particularly in the areas where the school is struggling the most.
