Summary:
Independence Charter School is the only elementary school located within the Independence Charter School district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The school serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade and has consistently been ranked in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past few years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Independence Charter School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) significantly below the state averages. While the school's Science proficiency is closer to the state average, its overall rankings and ratings suggest the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The school has a high concentration of students from low-income families, with 99.87% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be contributing to the academic challenges.
Despite the school's low performance, it appears to have significant resources available, with per-student spending of $18,814 for the 2021-2022 school year. However, the data suggests these resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population. Comprehensive interventions and a thorough review of the school's operations and resource allocation may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Independence Charter School.
