MaST Community Charter School II

Summary:

MaST Community Charter School II is a public charter school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that serves 1,777 students in grades K-12. The school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 86.6% to 100% over the past 3 years, which are significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in math proficiency, which ranges from 9.7% to 42.3% across grade levels.

Despite the school's higher spending per student, ranging from $12,130 to $14,853, its academic results are mixed compared to nearby charter schools. New Foundations Charter School and Tacony Academy Charter School outperform MaST Community Charter School II in math and ELA proficiency, while First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School and Esperanza Cyber Charter School have significantly lower proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels.

The school serves a high-need student population, with 53.74% to 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years. This likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance compared to some nearby charter schools. Exploring strategies to improve math proficiency and support the unique needs of its student population could be areas of focus for MaST Community Charter School II.

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.
