With an enrollment of 549 students, the school has consistently underperformed academically, ranking in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for the past three years.

Mastery Prep Elementary Charter School's academic struggles are evident across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.8% of students were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 40.4%, and just 24.6% were proficient in English language arts, compared to the state average of 53%. The school's science proficiency rate of 50.7% also falls short of the state average of 65.8%. These low test scores have contributed to the school's 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 551 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania.
The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Mastery Prep Elementary Charter School may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, as students from low-income backgrounds often face additional barriers to learning. While the school's spending per student is higher than the state average, the data suggests that the additional resources have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
