Summary

Coebourn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brookhaven, Pennsylvania, serving 328 students in grades K-5 as part of the Penn-Delco School District. The school has shown a mixed academic performance, with strengths in science proficiency but challenges in mathematics and English language arts compared to state and district averages.

Coebourn Elementary School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (46.3%) and PSSA English Language Arts (47.5%) were slightly below the state averages, but the school's performance in PSSA Science has been consistently strong, outperforming both the state and district. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 331 out of 1,544 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 848 out of 1,526 in 2023-2024. Coebourn's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other Penn-Delco School District elementary schools, but lags significantly behind the high-performing elementary schools in the neighboring Wallingford-Swarthmore and Rose Tree Media School Districts.

Coebourn Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 43.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's efforts to support its economically disadvantaged students, such as through increased per-student spending and targeted interventions, may be an area for further investigation and potential improvement. Understanding the factors behind the school's fluctuating performance, such as changes in curriculum, teaching practices, or student demographics, could provide valuable insights for the school and district to develop more effective strategies for long-term improvement.
