The school's performance is especially low in 8th grade Math, where 0% of students were proficient or better. While the school's performance in PSSA Science is slightly better, with 24.8% proficient or better across all grades, it still lags behind the district and state. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.6% to 5.5%, and an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.47% to 100% in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Philadelphia City School District, such as Feltonville Intermediate School, Lowell James R School, and Marshall Thurgood, also perform significantly below state averages on PSSA tests, with similar low proficiency rates. However, some nearby schools, such as Olney Elementary School and Howe Julia Ward School, perform slightly better than Morrison Andrew J School on certain PSSA metrics. Despite the significant increase in spending per student at Morrison Andrew J School, the school's academic performance has remained consistently low, suggesting that increased funding alone may not be enough to improve student 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.
