Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest at Huey

Summary:

Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest a is an elementary school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving 532 students in grades K-8, with a predominantly African American student population of 96.05%.

Despite increased spending per student, from $12,374 in 2018-2019 to $20,311 in 2021-2022, Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest a has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with only 1.4% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%. In contrast, nearby schools like Lea Henry C School and Mastery Cs-Harrity Campus, while still underperforming the state average, have significantly higher proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts.

The school's student population is overwhelmingly from low-income backgrounds, with 91.92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the surrounding Philadelphia City School District and Mastery CS-Harrity Campus schools, which also serve predominantly minority and low-income student populations. While the school has a relatively low dropout rate, the persistent academic underperformance suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the challenges faced by Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest a, and targeted interventions, teacher professional development, and community engagement could be key to improving student outcomes.

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.
