Summary

Wrightstown Elementary School is a highly-ranked public elementary school serving grades K-6 in the Council Rock School District in Newtown, Pennsylvania. With 418 students, the school consistently performs in the top 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, thanks to its strong academic outcomes and robust resources.

Wrightstown Elementary excels across key metrics, including academic performance, science proficiency, and subgroup equity. The school outperforms state and district averages on PSSA tests in both Math and English Language Arts, with 73.9% of students proficient or better in Math and 68.8% in ELA. Wrightstown also boasts an impressive 96.1% science proficiency rate, far surpassing the district (83%) and state (65.8%) averages. Additionally, the school performs exceptionally well for both female and male students, as well as for white students, suggesting a focus on meeting the needs of all learners.

Wrightstown's success is further bolstered by its relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 9.48% to 17.46% over the past few years. This is lower than many nearby schools in the highly-rated Council Rock School District, such as Maureen M Welch Elementary School and Rolling Hills Elementary School. Wrightstown's high per-student spending, well above the state average, likely contributes to its strong academic performance and the resources available to students and teachers.
