Taylor Bayard School

Summary:

Taylor Bayard School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving 384 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The student population at Taylor Bayard is predominantly Hispanic (83.85%), with a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Taylor Bayard School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with a statewide ranking between 1441 and 1561 out of over 1,500 schools in recent years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 3.8% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and 9.7% proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, low socioeconomic status students, and students with disabilities.

While the school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $13,957 in 2018-2019 to $23,507 in 2021-2022, this increased investment has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Nearby schools in the same district, such as Cramp William School, McClure Alexander K School, and Bethune Mary McLeod School, also perform poorly on standardized tests and have similar demographic and socioeconomic profiles to Taylor Bayard School. In contrast, nearby charter schools, such as Laboratory Charter School, Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School, and Pan American Academy Charter School, generally outperform Taylor Bayard School on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations.

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.
