Day Anna B School

Summary:

Day Anna B School is an elementary school in the Philadelphia City School District, serving 394 students in grades PK-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and serves a high-needs population with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Day Anna B School significantly underperforms the Philadelphia City School District and the state of Pennsylvania on standardized tests, with only 6% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and 25% proficient in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 40.4% and 53%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for male students and low-income students, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of Pennsylvania schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has had dropout rates ranging from 1.2% to 5.9% over the past few years, which are higher than the district and state averages.

While the nearby Emlen Eleanor C School and Samuel Pennypacker School also perform poorly on standardized tests, they generally outperform Day Anna B School, suggesting that factors beyond just district-level challenges are impacting the school's performance. The high poverty rate, low student-teacher ratio, and significant per-student spending at Day Anna B School indicate that the school faces significant challenges in supporting its students' academic and social-emotional needs. However, the substantial investment in the school and the presence of other nearby low-performing schools suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the district and community.

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.
