Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School


Summary:

Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School District, which is ranked 478 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 years, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

The school serves a student population that is entirely from low-income households, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate. While the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, suggesting smaller class sizes, this does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The school's 1-star rating and poor performance on the PSSA exams indicate it is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students.

Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and identify potential strategies for improvement. With high spending per student and small class sizes, the school's consistently low academic performance raises questions about how resources are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to support student learning.
