Summary

Newberry Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Etters, Pennsylvania, serving 258 students in grades K-5. It is part of the West Shore School District, which is ranked 199 out of 606 school districts in the state.

Newberry Elementary School has shown promising academic progress in recent years, particularly in its PSSA Science and Math assessments, as well as its performance for students from low-income and disabled backgrounds. While the school still ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, its targeted investments and small class sizes may be contributing to its improved outcomes. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math (57.6%) and English Language Arts (51.5%) were higher than the state averages (41.7% and 48.5%, respectively), and its PSSA Science proficiency rates have consistently been above 70% in recent years, outperforming both the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Newberry Elementary School's performance is generally lower than Fairview Elementary School and Red Mill Elementary School, which are also part of the West Shore School District. However, Newberry Elementary School outperforms some of the nearby schools in the Middletown Area School District, such as Fink Elementary and Robert Reid Elementary, which have lower proficiency rates and rankings.
