Summary

Quarry Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Yardley, Pennsylvania, serving 479 students in grades K-5. As part of the Pennsbury School District, which is ranked 125 out of 606 districts in the state, Quarry Hill consistently outperforms both the district and the state of Pennsylvania in academic assessments.

Quarry Hill Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts that far exceed the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 75.7% and 63.6%, respectively, compared to the district's 57% and 58.1%, and the state's 41.7% and 48.5%.

This suggests a high-quality education system in the broader region. Quarry Hill's success may be attributed to its relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, which are important factors in supporting student learning.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, January 12, 2015

Before my son entered kindergarten, I had heard so many wonderful things about this school being the best. However, since he has started attending, I have been greatly disappointed. Greatly disappointed.
The office staff here is rude and unattentive. They do not pay attention to who enters and leaves the building and their check in/check out system is lacking at best and neglegent at worst. They make no efforts to know the parents and when they do address you, are rude. They love to brag about the fact that the school is in a "safe" neighborhood. That is fine and good but, no neighborhood is too safe to implement attentive check-in/check-out procedures. Plus, an inattentive staff (I mean, they don't even look up as you are signing in, even if you come in in the middle of the day. You have to get their attention to even say hello,) makes for a very cold and rude feeling overall.
The drop-off/pick-up method here is unorganized and, once again, overseen by rude teachers who actually have bad tempers. Not the best way to start your child's day and definitely not offering a welcoming or safe environment.
The curriculum is dull and lacking diversity in teaching techniques. They say that this is because of Common Core standards. However, I have several friends whose chidren attend other PA public schools and who follow Common Core standards and, yet, their children are learning using a variety of techniques and in a way that is comprehensive and fun (utilizing tactile, auditory, and visual learning techniques.)
The administrative staff portrays an arrogant and even snobby attitude of "We know more than you and you are so stupid". I believe this attitude starts with the principal but, it trickles down through everything and permeates the entire school.
If this public school is the "best", then this country's public school system is even worse off than I thought. Close Quote
