Strawberry Mansion High School

Summary:

Strawberry Mansion High School is a public high school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving 203 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Strawberry Mansion High School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Pennsylvania, with only 0% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I and 0% in Biology in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to state averages of 41.6% and 50.5%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate is around 70%, significantly lower than the state and district averages, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.6% to 5.9% in recent years. The student population is predominantly African American (over 90%) and from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Strawberry Mansion High School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $21,481 to $26,365 in recent years, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. In contrast, nearby High School of Engineering & Science and Franklin LC, which are both magnet schools within the district, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state and district averages. This highlights the potential impact of specialized, selective programs on student outcomes and the presence of significant equity and opportunity gaps for students from disadvantaged backgrounds within the Philadelphia City School District.

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.
