Hackett Horatio B School

Summary:

Hackett Horatio B School is an elementary school located in Philadelphia, PA, serving grades PK-5 with 411 students. It is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating. However, Hackett Horatio B School has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past decade, moving from the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools to the middle 40%.

Hackett Horatio B School significantly outperforms the Philadelphia City School District and the state of Pennsylvania in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 60.9% of Hackett Horatio B students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 21.8% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school also performs exceptionally well for its Hispanic and White student subgroups, ranking in the top 20% and top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools respectively. However, the school's lower ranking for its low socioeconomic status students indicates a need to address the achievement gap for this subgroup.

Hackett Horatio B School's success may be attributed to its increased per-student spending, from $13,639 in 2018-2019 to $19,683 in 2021-2022, as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 13.8 over the past three school years. These factors, along with the school's consistent academic excellence, suggest that Hackett Horatio B School could serve as a model for other schools in the Philadelphia City School District, providing valuable insights for improving academic performance across the 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.

Open Quote Horribly mismanaged and run by what can charitably be called a 'bully.' The decline of this school has been noticeably drastic. Something really needs to be done to improve the environment for our children. Close Quote

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.
