MaST Community Charter School III

Summary:

MaST Community Charter School III is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA that serves 1,220 students in grades K-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, as well as significant percentages of White and Asian students.

Despite the school's diverse enrollment, MaST Community Charter School III has consistently underperformed academically compared to state averages and nearby schools. The school's proficiency rates on PSSA tests are significantly lower than the state, ranging from just 7% in 7th grade Math to 51.4% in 6th grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 39.3% and 53.8% respectively. The school's overall ranking places it in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools, and it has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. This underperformance is seen across all student subgroups, including racial/ethnic minorities and low-income students.

The high percentage of students from low-income families at MaST Community Charter School III, with 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic performance. In comparison, nearby schools like Benjamin Rush Elementary School and Pine Road Elementary School have much lower free/reduced-price lunch rates, ranging from 15.83% to 78.13%. The school's leadership and the broader community may need to collaborate to address these issues and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at MaST Community Charter School III.

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.
