Nether Providence EL Sch

Nether Providence Elementary School earns a 9.2/10 composite score — an Exceptional rating — placing it #47 out of 2,842 public schools in Pennsylvania. That ranking puts it in the top 2% statewide, outperforming 98% of Pennsylvania public schools on combined measures of academic achievement and year-over-year student growth. The school serves 493 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Wallingford, Pennsylvania.

At 11.5:1, the student-teacher ratio sits well below typical public school averages, which means more direct instruction time per student. Among the four public schools in Wallingford, Nether Providence ranks first. Academic scores stand at 9.1/10 and growth scores at 9.2/10.

That near-identical pairing matters: schools can score well on achievement alone by drawing from advantaged populations, but strong growth signals that students are consistently advancing relative to where they started. Nether Providence shows both. Among Pennsylvania's 1,625 elementary schools, it ranks #39 — a position that reflects sustained performance, not a single strong testing year.

Families comparing elementary options in the area will find this school consistently near the top of any statewide comparison.
