Summary:
Arts Academy Elementary Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Arts Academy Elementary Charter School district, serving students in grades K-5. With an enrollment of 414 students, the school is performing significantly below the state average on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.
Academically, Arts Academy Elementary Charter School struggles, with proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts that are roughly half or less of the statewide averages. The school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and 1367 out of 1526 ranking for the 2023-2024 school year indicate it is one of the lower-performing elementary schools in the state. This is concerning, as the school serves a high-need population, with 75.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's academic challenges, there are some positive factors, such as a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1. However, this does not appear to be translating into stronger student outcomes based on the test score data. Overall, Arts Academy Elementary Charter School faces significant hurdles in improving student performance and will likely require substantial interventions and support to better serve its economically disadvantaged student population.
