Summary:

Evergreen Community Charter School is a public charter high school located in Cresco, Pennsylvania, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 102 students. The school has seen a shift in its racial demographics over the past few years, with the percentage of white students decreasing and the percentage of Hispanic students increasing.

Evergreen Community Charter School stands out for its impressive academic performance. The school has maintained a very high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 94.1% to 100% over the past five years, significantly outperforming the state average. Additionally, the school has consistently reported a 0% dropout rate, which is an impressive achievement compared to the nearby public high schools, such as Bangor Area High School, Pen Argyl Area High School, and Pleasant Valley High School. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is more mixed, with some subject areas where it outperforms the state average and others where it lags behind, particularly in Mathematics.

Evergreen Community Charter School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 8.9 over the past three years, which is significantly lower than the nearby public high schools. Despite these strengths, the school's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 74th out of 663 Pennsylvania high schools in 2016-2017 to 496th out of 674 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in other areas that are impacting its overall performance. The school's spending per student has ranged from $16,040 to $18,246 over the past four years, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby public high schools, such as those in the Bangor Area School District and the Pen Argyl Area 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.
