Summary:
The Chichester School District in Pennsylvania serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school.
Among the elementary schools, Hilltop Elementary School stands out as a top performer, consistently scoring above the district and state averages on PSSA tests for both math and English language arts. Boothwyn Elementary School also performs better than the district and state, while Marcus Hook Elementary and Linwood Elementary lag behind. At the secondary level, Chichester Senior High School has a strong graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%, but struggles with math proficiency, with only 39.5% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better on the Keystone Algebra I exam.
The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 52.61% at Hilltop Elementary to 85.04% at Marcus Hook Elementary. Per-student spending also varies significantly, from $19,524 at the high school to $27,085 at Boothwyn Elementary, which may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed across the district.
