Summary:
City Charter High School is the sole high school located in the City Charter High School district in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This 9-12 grade school has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years, now ranking 545 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic struggles are evident in its below-average Keystone Exam proficiency rates, with just 24.6% of students proficient in Algebra I, 28.2% in Biology, and 48.6% in Literature, compared to state averages of 41.6%, 50.5%, and 63.2% respectively. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, the school's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% and dropout rate of 1.6% suggest there is room for improvement in supporting student success.
Serving a student population with a high 59.71% free and reduced-price lunch rate, City Charter High School spends $20,712 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's declining performance and academic outcomes indicate the need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and identify targeted strategies to enhance student learning and achievement within the City Charter High School district.
