Summary:
Montessori Regional Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Montessori Regional Charter School district. With an enrollment of 583 students, the school is performing significantly below the state average in most academic areas, particularly in mathematics.
The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past 3 years, going from 1173 out of 1534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1192 out of 1526 in 2023-2024. Academic performance is generally below the state average, with math proficiency rates ranging from 13% to 30.1% across grade levels, compared to the state average of 28.6% to 51.4%. Science and English Language Arts proficiency rates also lag behind state benchmarks.
The high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the below-average academic performance, indicates that the school may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population that requires additional support and resources. The relatively high dropout rate of 1.6% for the 2022-2023 school year is also a concerning factor that should be addressed to ensure students are staying engaged and completing their education.
