Summary:
Eugenio Maria DE Hostos Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Eugenio Maria De Hostos Charter School District located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 507 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three school years, placing 1105th out of 1526 schools in 2023-2024, 1089th out of 1534 schools in 2022-2023, and 1124th out of 1534 schools in 2021-2022.
The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts consistently below the state averages. In the most recent 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 30% in Math and 39.9% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. Additionally, the school's dropout rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 1.6%, slightly higher than the state average.
A significant factor contributing to the school's challenges is the high percentage of students, 73.37%, who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $21,160, the academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and the implementation of targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at Eugenio Maria DE Hostos Charter School.
