Summary

Quakertown Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 259 students in grades K-5 in the Quakertown Community School District in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. According to the data, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past several years, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Quakertown Elementary School's test scores are generally below the Quakertown Community School District and Pennsylvania state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's percentage of students proficient or better in PSSA Math (53.9%) and PSSA English Language Arts (37.5%) were both lower than the district (37.1% and 44.2%) and state (41.7% and 48.5%) averages. Additionally, the school's performance on test scores varies significantly by student subgroup, with Quakertown Elementary School ranking in the top half of Pennsylvania schools for its disabled student population, but in the bottom half for its white, low socioeconomic status, and Hispanic student populations.

Despite the school's increased spending per student, from $17,215 in 2019-2020 to $23,471 in 2022-2023, its academic performance has not shown commensurate improvement. When comparing Quakertown Elementary School to other nearby schools in the same district, such as Pfaff Elementary School and Trumbauersville Elementary School, it generally underperforms. This suggests that addressing the challenges faced by Quakertown Elementary School, including its declining statewide ranking and achievement gaps among student subgroups, will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers both academic and socioeconomic factors impacting the school community.
