Summary:
The Chichester School District in Pennsylvania is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 375 out of 606 districts in the state and rated 2 out of 5 stars, one school stands out as an academic standout - Hilltop Elementary School.
Hilltop Elementary consistently ranks higher than the other schools in the district, with a statewide ranking between 411-435 out of over 1,500 Pennsylvania elementary schools in the past 3 years. Hilltop also has the highest proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts across all grades compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. For example, Hilltop has 69.3% overall Math proficiency, well above the district average of 31% and state average of 41.7%. In English Language Arts, Hilltop outperforms the district and state with 56.5% proficiency overall.
In contrast, the other elementary schools in the Chichester School District - Boothwyn, Marcus Hook, and Linwood - all have significantly lower proficiency rates in both Math and ELA compared to Hilltop and the state averages. These schools also have higher percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 52.75% to 85.04%, which may be a contributing factor to their weaker academic performance.
