Summary:
Richard Allen Preparatory Charter School is the sole middle school serving grades 5-9 in the Richard Allen Preparatory Charter School district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a total enrollment of 414 students.
Based on the available data, Richard Allen Preparatory Charter School does not appear to be a standout performer. The school's academic proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 4.5% of 8th-grade students proficient in math compared to the state average of 26%. The school's ranking within the state has also declined over the past three years, from 743rd out of 797 middle schools in 2020-2021 to 784th out of 893 in 2022-2023, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $19,383, which is above the state average, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school serves a predominantly African American student population (93%), with a very high percentage (96.86%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. These factors may contribute to the school's academic struggles, and significant interventions and targeted support may be necessary to help the school address its challenges and provide a better educational experience for its students.
