Summary:
The 19013 zip code area of Pennsylvania is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. This analysis provides key insights into the performance and characteristics of these schools, which face significant educational challenges and resource disparities.
The standout school in this group is Stetser Elementary School, which has the highest proficiency rates on PSSA Math and English Language Arts tests compared to the other schools and the Chester-Upland School District overall. Stetser also has the highest Science proficiency rates, a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, and the highest per-student spending at $52,767. In contrast, the Chester Community Charter School had the lowest proficiency rates, often less than 10% of students scoring proficient or better.
Across the board, the schools in this group had significantly lower proficiency rates on PSSA tests compared to state averages. All 4 schools also had extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 98.95% to 100%, indicating very high levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These stark performance gaps and resource disparities suggest students in this area are facing significant educational challenges that require targeted interventions and investments to support their success.
