Mastery Cs-Harrity Campus

Summary:

Mastery Cs-Harrity Campus is a public charter elementary school serving 813 students in grades K-8 in Philadelphia, PA, an area with significant socioeconomic challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with concerning trends in dropout rates and academic performance well below state averages.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $15,000-$20,000 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.2, Mastery Cs-Harrity Campus struggles to meet state standards. The school performs better for its African American students compared to other subgroups, but still ranks in the bottom third for low socioeconomic status students and the bottom 10% for disabled students. Nearby Philadelphia City School District schools and some local charter schools, such as Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest at Huey and Independence Charter School West, perform similarly or slightly better, but all struggle to meet state averages.

The high poverty levels, as evidenced by the over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, appear to be a significant factor impacting student performance in this area of Philadelphia. Addressing the root causes of these disparities, such as access to resources, teacher quality, and community support, will be crucial for driving meaningful improvements at Mastery Cs-Harrity Campus and the surrounding schools in the long term.

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.
