Spruance Gilbert School

Summary:

Spruance Gilbert School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Philadelphia City School District, with 1,275 students. Despite increased funding in recent years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spruance Gilbert School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state on standardized tests, with only 16.7% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, 26% in PSSA English Language Arts, and 30.8% in PSSA Science. The school's performance is especially low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and English Language Learners, who rank in the bottom 5-10% of Pennsylvania schools in Math proficiency. Additionally, Spruance Gilbert has had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 1.6% to 5.9%, compared to the district average of around 1.6%.

While Spruance Gilbert's per-student spending has increased over the past few years, this has not translated into significantly improved academic outcomes. The school's performance remains consistently lower than nearby Disston Hamilton School, Ziegler William High School, Carnell Laura High School, and Solis-Cohen Solomon School, which, while still underperforming compared to state averages, have higher proficiency rates in core subjects. Addressing the challenges at Spruance Gilbert will require a comprehensive, long-term approach that goes beyond just increasing funding.

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.
