Among 1,624 elementary schools in Pennsylvania with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 416.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 33th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 13.9:1, close to the Pennsylvania median of 12.9:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Black (89.5%) and Hispanic or Latino (7%). English learners represent 0.3% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 21.5%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
