Tacony Academy Charter School

Summary:

Tacony Academy Charter School is an alternative public charter school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that serves 1,084 students in grades K-12. The school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state and nearby charter schools.

Tacony Academy Charter School's academic performance lags behind many of the nearby charter schools, such as Mathematics Science & Technology Community Charter School, New Foundations Charter School, and MaST Community Charter School II. These nearby charter schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts, often exceeding the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Mathematics Science & Technology Community Charter School had a 50.2% proficiency rate in PSSA Math for all grades, compared to Tacony Academy's 22.7%.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, reaching 100% in the 2022-2023 school year, and relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.6 may be contributing factors to its underperformance. However, Tacony Academy Charter School's four-year graduation rate of 87.5% and dropout rate of 1.6% for the 2022-2023 school year are on par with the nearby charter schools, indicating that the school is able to retain and graduate a majority of its students. Continued efforts to address the academic needs of the student population and provide targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance.

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.

Deeply troubled school. There has been way too many fights and the staff had. no control over the school. In addition I was bullied and sexually harassed and the principle did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and yet Tacony calls themselves a "carring school community" DO NOT send your child to this school, you will regret it.

This school has been a great Disappointment!! I have had more then my share of bad experiences with the teachers &Vice principal they are very unprofessional. My child has been in a reading program the last two years there to help him advance which has done anything but good at least in their eyes. My child has been there since day one and has never had to take a spelling test. They have never made AYP its no wonder why kids are struggling. They are sent home with new stuff and have no idea how to do it they either get it or they are left behind. My child's last teacher was by far the rudest and would make fun of him in the class room in front of other students . I can't tell you how many times he would come home in tears. My husband and I have met with the teacher Vice principal and Principal over these matters and got no where . The school was shut down for two days with no notice to parents if it wasn't for the news I would of had no idea what was going on. My child is terrified to return this year. I could go on and on about the problems with this school But I will just end by saying he won't be back. Close Quote

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.
