Mastery Charter School John Wister Elementary


Summary:

Mastery Charter School John Wister Elementary is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in the area, with a total enrollment of 513 students. While the school's high spending per student of $21,722 is above the state average, its academic performance is significantly below par, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

The school's student population is predominantly African American (91.81%), with small percentages of Hispanic (4.87%), White (0.39%), and other racial/ethnic groups. On standardized PSSA tests, the school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts are alarmingly low, with 3rd grade Math proficiency at just 14.8% compared to the state average of 51.7%. This suggests the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, despite the higher-than-average spending.

Overall, Mastery Charter School John Wister Elementary appears to be an underperforming school within the Mastery Charter School district, with significant room for improvement in academic outcomes and resource allocation to better serve its predominantly African American student population.
