Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School

Summary:

Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving 699 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 495 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 97.14% Hispanic and an extremely high rate of economic disadvantage, with 81.83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 9.3% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school's performance on PSSA tests for specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with disabilities, is also significantly lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

The challenges faced by Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School are not unique, as nearby schools in the Philadelphia City School District, such as Taylor Bayard School, Cramp William School, and Feltonville Intermediate School, also have low academic performance and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that the issues at Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School may be indicative of broader systemic challenges within the district, and addressing these challenges may require a comprehensive, district-wide approach.

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.

This is a tragedy in the making a child will be hurt it is only a matter of time you have parents making u turns in the middle of the street.

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.
