Summary:
Freire Charter School is the sole high school located in the Freire Charter School district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a predominantly African American student population that is significantly different from the racial composition of Pennsylvania as a whole.
Academically, Freire Charter School struggles, with proficiency rates on standardized tests that lag far behind state averages across all subject areas. Only 6.3% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%, and just 27.6% were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.8% statewide. The school's graduation rate of 89.5% is also slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.7% is higher than the state's.
Despite these academic challenges, Freire Charter School spends a relatively high amount per student at $18,243, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning and achievement.
