Summary:
Propel CS-Pitcairn is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Propel CS-Pitcairn district of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While the school's small class sizes and higher per-student spending suggest a focus on personalized support, its academic performance has consistently lagged behind state averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.
Propel CS-Pitcairn has ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, with proficiency rates of just 11.4% in Math and 27.9% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. However, the school's Science proficiency rates are closer to the state average at 53.3%, suggesting potential opportunities for improvement in other subject areas.
While the data does not provide specific details on the school's socioeconomic factors, the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio of 11:1 may indicate that Propel CS-Pitcairn is serving a population with greater needs. By implementing more effective instructional strategies and targeted interventions, the school may be able to better support student learning and improve academic outcomes for the community it serves.
