Summary:
Mastery Charter School -Shoemaker Campus is the sole public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the Mastery CS-Shoemaker Campus district of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 782 students, the school has a predominantly African American student population, making up 88.62% of the student body, which is significantly higher than the state average.
While the school boasts an impressive 95.2% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently and significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade math, only 3% of students scored proficient or better, compared to 26% statewide. Similarly, in 11th grade Algebra I, just 8.8% of students were proficient or better, compared to 34.1% statewide. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending of $22,072 per student, these low academic outcomes suggest that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its predominantly minority and underserved student population.
Overall, Mastery Charter School -Shoemaker Campus appears to be facing significant challenges in delivering academic success to its students, even as it maintains a strong focus on supporting students to complete their high school education. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these challenges and identify potential strategies for improvement within the Mastery CS-Shoemaker Campus district.
