Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School

Summary:

Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School is a virtual public charter school serving grades K-12 in Sewickley, PA, with an enrollment of 1,226 students. While the school offers the flexibility of online learning, it has struggled to match the academic performance of nearby traditional and charter schools in the region.

The school's graduation rates, ranging from 59.5% to 87.5% over the past few years, are significantly lower than the state average of around 87%, and its dropout rates, ranging from 1.6% to 6.9%, are higher than the state average. On standardized tests, Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School performs significantly worse than the state average, with only 6.7% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school also lags behind the state in PSSA Science (33.9% vs 65.8%) and PSSA English Language Arts (16.5% vs 53%). When compared to nearby virtual/charter schools like Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School and Propel Cs-Braddock Hills, Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School significantly underperforms on these key metrics.

The school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 50.57% to 57.22% over the past few years. This, combined with the school's low test scores and graduation rates, suggests it may be facing challenges in effectively serving its population of economically disadvantaged students. While virtual schooling can offer certain advantages, the data indicates that Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School is struggling to capitalize on these benefits and provide the same level of educational quality and support as other charter options in the Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School district.

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.
