Summary:
The city of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania is home to three schools - Ridley Middle School, Lakeview Elementary School, and Leedom Elementary School - all part of the Ridley School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and provide a range of academic programs and extracurricular activities.
Based on the data, the two elementary schools, Lakeview and Leedom, stand out as the top performers in the district. Both schools have higher proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages, particularly in the 3rd and 4th grade levels. Lakeview Elementary also impresses with an 89.3% proficiency rate in 4th grade Science, well above the district and state. In contrast, while Ridley Middle School has lower proficiency rates than the elementary schools, it still performs better than the district and state averages in some areas, such as 7th grade Math and 6th-8th grade English Language Arts.
Across the district, the schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.91% at Lakeview Elementary to 58.72% at Leedom Elementary. This suggests a need for additional support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, especially at the elementary level, may contribute to the schools' academic success. Overall, the data highlights the strengths of the elementary schools in the Ridley Park district, while also identifying potential areas for improvement, particularly at the middle school level and across the district as a whole.
