With a total enrollment of 568 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams substantially lower than the state averages, particularly in core subjects like Algebra I (19% vs. 41.6%) and Biology (28.5% vs. 50.5%). The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low. The school's high percentage of students (98.24%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Resource constraints may also be impacting the school's performance, as its per-student spending of $2,673 is relatively low compared to the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.9 is slightly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that Preparatory Charter School of Mathematics Science Technical and Careers may require targeted interventions and additional resources to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by its students and improve overall school performance.
