Keystone Education Center Charter School

Summary:

Keystone Education Center Charter School is an alternative public charter school in Greenville, Pennsylvania, serving 199 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. As an alternative school, it caters to students who have struggled in traditional school settings or have unique educational needs.

The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. Its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 71.4% and 87.5%, generally lower than the state average of around 85%. The school's dropout rates have also been higher than the state average, ranging from 1.6% to 6.4%. Despite the higher per-student spending, which has ranged from $19,400 to $23,972, the school's resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement.

Keystone Education Center Charter School serves a high-need population, with 93.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. This suggests that the school faces additional challenges in addressing non-academic barriers to learning and supporting its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. However, the alternative setting and the unique needs of the students present opportunities for targeted interventions, specialized instructional approaches, and comprehensive support services to improve academic outcomes and student success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
