Independence Charter School

Summary:

Independence Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 781 students in grades K-8 in Philadelphia, PA. While the school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, ranking in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools, a closer look reveals some interesting insights.

Academically, Independence Charter School struggles, with proficiency rates on the PSSA exams generally below the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's math proficiency rate of 38.9% was lower than the state average of 40.4%. However, the school performs better in science, with 61.6% proficiency in 2023-2024 compared to the state average of 65.8%. Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with white students performing very well, ranking in the top 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, while low-income and disabled students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 25% of schools. The school also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 1.6%.

When compared to nearby schools, the contrast is stark. Greenfield Albert Middle School and Meredith William Middle School significantly outperform Independence Charter School on academic measures, ranking in the top 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that strong academic outcomes are possible in this area, and Independence Charter School may need to re-evaluate its educational approach and practices to better serve all of its students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
