Summary:
Technical Freire Charter School is the sole high school serving grades 9-12 in its district. Despite spending over $20,000 per student, the school is underperforming academically, with significantly lower Keystone Exam proficiency rates compared to state averages. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past 3 years, dropping from 574 out of 634 Pennsylvania high schools in 2021-2022 to 570 out of 686 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger star rating has also dropped from 0 stars to 1 star.
While the school maintains a respectable 87.5% four-year graduation rate, its 1.6% dropout rate suggests some students are struggling to succeed. The lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic demographics of the student population and whether the school is effectively serving underprivileged students. Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling school that is not achieving strong academic outcomes despite its high per-student spending.
Compared to other high schools in Pennsylvania, Technical Freire Charter School appears to be underperforming, with declining performance metrics and significant academic gaps in core subject areas. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the root causes and potential solutions to improve the school's outcomes and better serve its students.
