Summary:
Propel CS-Northside is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Propel CS-Northside district in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Based on the available data, this school appears to be significantly underperforming compared to other elementary schools across the state, with consistently low academic proficiency rates and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's math, science, and English language arts proficiency rates are all well below the state averages, with some grade levels reporting 0% proficiency in math. For example, in 8th grade math, the school's proficiency rate is only 4.8% compared to the state average of 26%. This trend is consistent across all grade levels and subject areas, suggesting a systemic issue with the quality of education provided at Propel CS-Northside. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of African American students (83.38%) and a relatively low percentage of white students (3.96%), which could indicate potential issues with equity and access to educational opportunities.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $18,994, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes. The school's consistently low rankings, significant proficiency gaps, and high spending with poor outcomes indicate the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to improve the quality of education provided to its students.
