West Phila. Achievement CES


Summary:

The West Phila. Achievement CES is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-5 in this area of West Philadelphia, with a total enrollment of 637 students. The school's performance is concerning, as it is ranked 558 out of 606 schools in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges.

Academically, the school's PSSA test scores are consistently well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 12.7% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 51.7%. This low academic performance is likely exacerbated by the fact that 100% of students at West Phila. Achievement CES qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the community.

Despite the school's significant per-student spending of $16,395, it appears to be struggling to effectively allocate resources to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly African American (96.39%), with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups, which may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Overall, the data suggests that West Phila. Achievement CES faces significant challenges in delivering a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address these issues.
