Universal Creighton Charter School


Summary:

Universal Creighton Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Universal Creighton Charter School district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a diverse student population of 713 students, the school faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in math, despite its status as a charter school and relatively high per-student spending.

While the school's science proficiency rates are closer to the state average, its math and English Language Arts (ELA) scores lag significantly behind, with the largest gaps in upper grade levels. This suggests a need to focus on improving math instruction and support for students. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly socioeconomically disadvantaged community, with 84.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the academic challenges the school faces.

Despite the school's diverse student population and additional resources as a charter school, the data indicates that Universal Creighton Charter School has room for improvement in academic performance, particularly in math. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs of the school's diverse student body and the socioeconomic factors impacting their learning.
