Manchester Academic Charter School

Manchester Academic Charter School is the sole school in the Manchester Academic Charter School District, serving grades K-8 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 393 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently below-average performance on PSSA tests across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in math.

The school has a predominantly African American student population (92.62%), which raises questions about equity and access to educational opportunities for students of color in the district. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, despite its relatively high spending per student ($25,083).

Overall, the data suggests that Manchester Academic Charter School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's low academic performance, high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, and racial disparities indicate the need for a deeper examination of the underlying factors contributing to these issues and the development of targeted interventions to address them within the Manchester Academic Charter School District.
