DeBurgos Bilingual Magnet Middle School

Summary:

DeBurgos Bilingual Magnet Middle School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA that serves 628 students in grades K-8 and is part of the Philadelphia City School District.

Despite the school's focus on bilingual education, DeBurgos Bilingual Magnet Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with only 4.5% of students proficient or better in Math compared to 39.3% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic and English Language Learner student subgroups. However, the school maintains relatively low dropout rates and has seen an increase in per-student spending in recent years. Nearby schools in the Philadelphia district, such as McKinley William School and Munoz-Marin Luis, exhibit similar academic challenges, while a few schools like Brown Henry A School and Pan American Academy Charter School show slightly better outcomes despite serving equally disadvantaged populations.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (100% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and large Hispanic and English Language Learner populations at DeBurgos Bilingual Magnet Middle School likely contribute to the school's academic struggles. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increasing per-student spending suggest that efforts are being made to support student success. Addressing the widespread educational inequities in the Philadelphia City School District will be crucial to improving outcomes at DeBurgos and similar schools in the region.

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.
