Mayfair School

Summary:

Mayfair School is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Philadelphia City School District, with 1,682 students, making it one of the larger schools in the district. However, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of Mayfair School's academic performance is a significant concern, with test scores well below state and district averages, particularly in Math.

Mayfair School's performance varies greatly across student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively well compared to their peers in the district and state, but the school struggling with its White, Hispanic, and disabled student populations. The school also experiences high dropout rates, ranging from 1.6% to 5.9%, which are significantly above the district average. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the fact that Mayfair School serves a highly economically disadvantaged population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Mayfair School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Pollock Robert B School and Northeast Community Propel Academy, it becomes clear that Mayfair is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively high student-teacher ratio, Mayfair School has not seen significant academic improvements, suggesting that factors beyond funding and class size may be at play.

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.
