MaST Community Charter School III

Summary:

MaST Community Charter School III is an alternative public charter school in Philadelphia, PA that serves 1,220 students in grades KG-9, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The school has some notable strengths, including very low dropout rates compared to the state average. However, MaST Community Charter School III has consistently underperformed the state average in math proficiency, with rates ranging from 9.2% to 29.4% compared to the state's 28.6% to 51.4%. While the school's science proficiency rates are also lower than the state average, the gap is not as large as in math. In English Language Arts (ELA), the school's proficiency rates are closer to the state average, ranging from 32.7% to 46.4% compared to the state's 51.5% to 55.8%. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, these investments do not appear to be translating into commensurate student outcomes.

When compared to nearby charter schools, First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School, Mariana Bracetti Academy Charter School, and Maritime Academy Charter School tend to have higher math and science proficiency rates, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. MaST Community Charter School III also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to its nearby charter school peers, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

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.
