The school is part of the Mastery CS-Gratz Campus district, which is ranked 539 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mastery Cs-Gratz Campus has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania high schools, with its academic performance significantly below the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.6% of students were proficient or better in PSSA/Math, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school's performance on other standardized tests, such as the Keystone Exams, is also particularly low, with only 1.9% proficient or better in Algebra I, 5.9% in Biology, and 25.7% in Literature, compared to the state averages of 41.6%, 50.5%, and 63.2%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of around 85-87.5% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 0.8% to 4.3% in recent years, which is generally higher than the state average.

Mastery Cs-Gratz Campus serves a predominantly African American student population, with a high percentage of low socioeconomic status students. The performance of disabled students at the school is also concerning, with this subgroup ranking 483 out of 513 Pennsylvania high schools. Despite the higher per-student spending of between $18,062 and $21,794, the school is not achieving the desired academic outcomes, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population. In comparison, nearby schools such as Central High School and Girls High School, which are also part of the Philadelphia City School District, significantly outperform Mastery Cs-Gratz Campus on academic measures.

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.
