Summary:
Mastery Charter School John Wister Elementary is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in this area, with a total enrollment of 513 students. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending, it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's math proficiency rate for all grades was just 18.3%, compared to the state average of 40.4%. Additionally, the school had a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, though the exact percentage is not provided. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.3 to 1 in 2022-2023 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio.
Overall, the data indicates that Mastery Charter School John Wister Elementary is a low-performing school that is not meeting the academic needs of its students. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and develop strategies to improve student outcomes.
