Stonehurst Hills Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a statewide rank between 1308-1491 over the past several years. Its performance on PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.9% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 41.7% statewide and 18.7% in the Upper Darby School District. The school also has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When comparing Stonehurst Hills Elementary School to other nearby schools, both within the same district (Bywood Elementary School) and in neighboring districts (Anderson Add B School, Bryant William C School, etc.), the performance gap is quite significant. These nearby schools, while still struggling, generally outperform Stonehurst Hills Elementary School on academic measures. The high per-student spending at Stonehurst Hills Elementary School, combined with its low academic performance, suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes.
