Summary

Delcroft School is an elementary school located in Folcroft, PA, serving grades K-8 with 616 students. It is part of the Southeast Delco School District, which is ranked 482 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Delcroft School has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, ranking between 1141-1290 out of around 1500 schools over the past 10 years, and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delcroft School consistently underperforms compared to the state and its own district on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 18.2% of Delcroft students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 41.7% statewide. In English Language Arts, 36.7% of Delcroft students were proficient, compared to 48.5% statewide. Delcroft's performance lags behind the Southeast Delco School District as well. However, African American students at Delcroft School rank in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for PSSA Math, indicating they are performing relatively well compared to their peers statewide.

Delcroft School has an extremely high percentage of students (99.5-100%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high-poverty student population. Many of the schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Sharon Hill School, Darby Township School, and Harris School, also perform poorly on standardized tests and have low rankings compared to the state. This suggests a broader systemic issue within the Southeast Delco School District that extends beyond just Delcroft School.
