Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School

Summary:

Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School is an elementary school serving 418 students in grades K-5, located in the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 547 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school itself ranks 1320 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and also has a 1-star rating.

Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students, particularly in Math and English Language Arts proficiency. In 2023-2024, only 19% of students were proficient in Math compared to the state average of 40.4%, and 27.7% were proficient in ELA compared to the state's 53%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. However, the school's African American and Hispanic students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for those subgroups.

Comparing the school's performance to nearby schools, such as Rhodes E Washington School and Wissahickon Charter School, which also perform poorly compared to the state averages, highlights the importance of context and the need for targeted interventions to address the unique needs of the student population. In contrast, some nearby schools, like Cook-Wissahickon School and Mifflin Thomas School, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in many grade levels and subject areas.

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.
