Summary:
West Phila. Achievement CES is the only elementary public charter school serving grades K-5 in the West Philadelphia area, with a total enrollment of 637 students. Based on the available data, this school is performing significantly below state averages on standardized tests, ranking 1345 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is a concern, with only 13.6% of students proficient or better in Math and 24.2% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $16,395, the school's academic outcomes have not improved.
Given the consistently low performance and the challenges faced by the school's student population, there may be a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve the educational outcomes for the students at West Phila. Achievement CES. Further analysis and collaboration with the West Phila. Achievement CES district may be necessary to address the underlying issues and provide the necessary resources and support for the students.
