Summary:
Universal Creighton Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Universal Creighton Charter School District located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The school has a total enrollment of 713 students and faces some significant challenges, including below-average test scores, particularly in math, and a declining statewide ranking over the past three school years.
The school's test scores on the PSSA exams are generally below the state averages, with an overall math proficiency rate of 32.5% in the 2023-2024 school year compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school's performance is also below the state average in English Language Arts and Science. However, the school has a relatively low dropout rate of 1.6% and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1, which are generally positive factors for student learning.
The school serves a high-need student population, with 84.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average at $18,173 for the 2021-2022 school year, but the data does not provide information on how these resources are being allocated to support student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Universal Creighton Charter School faces challenges in improving academic performance and supporting its high-need student population.
