Arts Academy Charter School


Summary:

Arts Academy Charter School is the sole middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Arts Academy Charter School district in Allentown, Pennsylvania. With an enrollment of 312 students, the school has faced academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA).

The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 579 out of 883 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2021-2022 to 661 out of 891 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Academic performance is generally below the state average, with Math proficiency ranging from 1.2% to 28.5% and ELA proficiency ranging from 37.7% to 71.4%, compared to state averages of 28.6% to 42.8% and 52.2% to 53.4%, respectively.

The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 57.05% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the school's focus on the arts, its academic struggles and declining performance suggest that further investigation and targeted interventions may be needed to improve student outcomes at Arts Academy Charter School.
