Its proficiency rates on PSSA tests are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with math proficiency ranging from 11.3% to 14.9% compared to the state average of 40.4% to 51.4%.

Despite the low academic performance, Arts Academy Elementary Charter School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1. However, the school's spending per student of $1,345 is lower than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning.
