Summary:
Propel CS-Pitcairn is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Propel CS-Pitcairn district of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While the school boasts a low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, its academic performance and statewide ranking raise significant concerns.
Academically, Propel CS-Pitcairn struggles, with math and ELA proficiency rates well below the state averages across all grade levels. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools further highlight its challenges in providing a high-quality education. Additionally, the school's student population is disproportionately African American, suggesting potential issues with equity and access that may be impacting performance.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $24,623, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for students. Propel CS-Pitcairn may need to undertake a comprehensive review of its educational practices, resource allocation, and equity initiatives to address these concerns and better serve its students.
