Summary:

The school is part of the Achievement House Charter School District, which is ranked 590 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Achievement House Charter School consistently performs significantly below the state averages on standardized tests, with only 3.3% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school's proficiency rates in other subjects, such as PSSA Science (12.2%), PSSA English Language Arts (16.1%), and Keystone Exams (2.9% in Algebra I, 10.6% in Biology, and 31.5% in Literature), are also well below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has been fluctuating, ranging from 50% to 87.5% in recent years, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has been high, ranging from 1.6% to 16.1% in the past few years. The school's performance on standardized tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking 223 out of 284 Pennsylvania high schools for African American students, 267 out of 274 for Hispanic students, and 589 out of 595 for White students in PSSA Math proficiency.

Nearby public high schools, such as Phoenixville Area High School, West Chester Henderson High School, and Downingtown High School West Campus, significantly outperform Achievement House Charter School on academic measures, indicating that the local area has access to higher-performing educational options. As a virtual charter school, Achievement House Charter School may face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction and support to its students, and the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (nearly 60% free or reduced-price lunch recipients) may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

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.
