Summary:
Provident Charter School is the sole middle school serving grades 2-8 in the Provident Charter School district in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With an enrollment of 325 students, the school's academic performance is consistently below the state average, ranking 666 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $27,786, which exceeds the state average, Provident Charter School's proficiency rates on PSSA tests are significantly lower than the state averages in Math (21% vs. 40.4%) and English Language Arts (21% vs. 53%). However, the school's science proficiency rates are slightly better, with 55% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 65.8%. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 46.77%.
While the school's student-to-teacher ratio of 4.8 is significantly lower than the state average, this small class size does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's dropout rate of 1.6% for the 2022-2023 school year is also a concern. Overall, the data suggests that Provident Charter School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, despite its relatively high spending and small class sizes.
