People for People Charter School

People for People Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the People for People Charter School District located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 528 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 years, indicating very poor academic performance.

The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with just 3.6% of students proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.4%. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $23,176, which is much higher than the state average, it has not translated into improved outcomes for students. The school also serves a student population with a very high percentage (97.73%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the school's struggles.

While the school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, its dropout rate of 1.6% is slightly higher. These metrics, combined with the school's consistently low rankings and poor test scores, paint a concerning picture of the educational opportunities available to students at People for People Charter School. The data highlights the need for a deeper analysis of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and the implementation of targeted interventions to improve outcomes for its students.
