Summary:

The 19082 zip code area in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools - 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school - all part of the Upper Darby School District. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between these schools, with the highest-poverty schools struggling the most.

Highland Park Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates on PSSA tests compared to the other elementary schools. In contrast, Stonehurst Hills Elementary School has the lowest performance across the board, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. Bywood Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio, which could indicate more individualized attention for students.

This correlation between poverty and academic performance is a significant challenge facing these schools. Addressing these inequities should be a priority for the Upper Darby School District and local policymakers.
