Summary

Grandview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Derry, Pennsylvania, serving 755 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Derry Area School District, which is ranked 266 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grandview Elementary School consistently outperforms the Derry Area School District and the state of Pennsylvania in PSSA test scores for Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Grandview's Math proficiency rate for all grades was 52.4%, compared to 44.2% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Similarly, its ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 49.7%, compared to 55.1% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school performs particularly well for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 434 out of 1,369 Pennsylvania elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating.

However, Grandview Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 380 out of 1,530 Pennsylvania elementary schools in the 2017-2018 school year to 711 out of 1,511 in the 2024-2025 school year, despite maintaining a 3-star rating. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in keeping up with the academic performance of other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's performance for its white and disabled student subgroups is relatively lower, ranking 794 out of 1,201 and 714 out of 1,030 Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively, with a 2-star rating. The school has also seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rates, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.
