Summary

Nottingham School is an elementary school serving grades 3-4 in the Oxford Area School District in Pennsylvania. With 427 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, earning a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nottingham School faces significant academic challenges, with test scores generally below the state and district averages. In 2024-2025, only 48.8% of Nottingham students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 41.7% statewide and 40.8% in the Oxford Area School District. Similarly, just 45.2% of Nottingham students were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 48.5% statewide and 51.4% in the district. The school also has a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

While Nottingham School spends significantly more per student ($25,502 in 2022-2023) than the state average and nearby schools like Jordan Bank School and Elk Ridge School, this higher spending does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5, but this has not led to improved performance. Addressing the challenges at Nottingham School will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of the school's underperformance.
