Erie Rise Leadership Academy Charter School

Summary:

Erie Rise Leadership Academy Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving 292 students in grades K-8 in Erie, Pennsylvania. The school has a predominantly African American student population (58.9%) and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (68.15% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch).

Despite spending over $16,000 per student, Erie Rise Leadership Academy Charter School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with only 7.2% of students proficient or better in Math and 18.9% proficient or better in English Language Arts across all grades in 2022-2023. This is significantly lower than the state averages of 39.3% in Math and 53.8% in English Language Arts. The school's performance also lags behind nearby McKinley Elementary School and Lincoln Elementary School in the Erie City School District.

Notably, the school's African American student population is performing particularly poorly, ranking in the bottom 10% of all Pennsylvania elementary schools in Math proficiency. Additionally, Erie Rise Leadership Academy Charter School has seen a concerning increase in its dropout rate, rising from 0% in previous years to 2.8% in the 2022-2023 school year. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational outcomes for the students at this school.

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.
