Summary:
The Philadelphia Montessori Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Philadelphia Montessori Charter School district. This school serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade and is situated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Montessori Charter School is ranked 1457 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on PSSA tests is significantly below the state average, with only 6.8% of students proficient in math, 15.9% proficient in English Language Arts, and 52.2% proficient in science, compared to state averages of 40.4%, 53%, and 65.8%, respectively. This low academic performance has been a persistent issue for the school, with consistently poor rankings over the past few years.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $20,492 for the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the state average, the academic outcomes for students have not improved. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 8:1, which is significantly lower than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into better educational outcomes for the students. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices and resource allocation would be necessary to identify the root causes of the persistent academic challenges and develop targeted interventions to improve student performance.
