Summary

Hatfield Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 522 students in grades K-6 in the North Penn School District in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. While the school has been consistently ranked in the middle range of Pennsylvania elementary schools, it faces some challenges in student performance, particularly in Math and for certain student subgroups.

Hatfield Elementary's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are generally lower than the North Penn School District and Pennsylvania state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's overall PSSA Math proficiency rate was 48.3% compared to 59.1% for the district and 41.7% for the state. The school's performance is particularly weak in 3rd and 6th grade Math, where proficiency rates are around 10-20 percentage points below the district and state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.3% to 64.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools in the North Penn School District.

However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1-12.3 suggests it has adequate staffing resources compared to nearby schools. The nearby North Penn School District elementary schools, such as Bridle Path, Kulp, and Walton Farm, generally outperform Hatfield Elementary on PSSA proficiency rates, with many of them ranking in the top 25-30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. By focusing on improving the performance of its underperforming subgroups, Hatfield Elementary may have opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and a focus on equity.

This school is filled with a bunch of daycare workers. They might as well be considered a daycare for all the lack of actual education going on in this school. Hopefully now that D'Ana Waters has been replaced thing will change and the school will actually stop functioning as a daycare for illiterate children and actually teach real academics. Close Quote

Once again this school has underachieved yet another year. Every year this school does worse and worse with their proficiency score and nothing is done to address this issue. Great job to the staff who continue to let down these children! Yes, that is sarcasm for those of you who don't understand the concept. Close Quote

This school is teaching my son nothing. Close Quote

This school is a disgrace. With the amount of money they spent on building a new school you would think they would've hired better staff. The achievement levels have drastically deteriorated over previous years. Don't waste your kids' time. Close Quote
