Universal Audenried Charter School

Summary:

Universal Audenried Charter School is a public charter high school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving 546 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Universal Audenried Charter School District, which is ranked 529 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school serves a predominantly low-income and minority student population, its academic performance is significantly below the state average. On the Keystone Exams, only 16.8% of 11th graders were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 41.6%. The school's performance on the Keystone Exams in Biology and Literature is also below the state average. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 76% and 87.5%, which is lower than the state average. Nearby schools, such as Robeson High School for Human Services, South Philadelphia High School, and Creative and Performing Arts, also serve predominantly low-income and minority student populations, but their academic performance is generally better than that of Universal Audenried Charter School.

However, the school's exceptional performance with English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked 3 out of 84 Pennsylvania high schools in 2023-2024, suggests that it may have effective strategies and support systems in place for this student population. Addressing the school's challenges and leveraging its strengths could be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of its students.

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.
