Summary:
The 19012 zip code area has only one school, Cheltenham Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 401 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, and a high percentage (51.87%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, Cheltenham Elementary School's PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) scores in Math and English Language Arts for all grades are below the Cheltenham School District and Pennsylvania state averages. However, the school's PSSA Science scores for 4th grade are on par with the district and state averages. Despite the school's higher per-student spending ($25,390) and lower student-to-teacher ratio (12.2 to 1) compared to the state average, the academic performance concerns suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the identified areas of improvement.
The diverse student population and socioeconomic challenges faced by Cheltenham Elementary School present both opportunities and challenges in meeting the unique needs of different student groups. The school's performance data indicates that there is room for improvement, and a deeper analysis of the factors influencing student outcomes could help inform strategies to enhance academic achievement and support the diverse community served by the school.
