Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School

Summary:

Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School is an elementary school serving 418 students in grades K-4 in the Philadelphia City School District. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American students and smaller percentages of Hispanic, White, and Asian students.

Academically, Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School struggles compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 17.5% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, and 28.5% were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, both well below state averages. The school's performance is particularly low in Math, ranking in the bottom 12% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. This is concerning, as the school has an extremely high percentage of students from low-income families, with 99.76% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance is especially low for its African American and low-income student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 38% and 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, respectively.

Despite the school's academic struggles, it spends a relatively high amount per student, at $18,109 in the 2021-2022 school year. This is higher than the spending at nearby traditional public schools like Rhodes E Washington School and Wissahickon Charter School, which perform significantly better academically. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School's poor academic 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.
