Northeast Community Propel Academy

Summary:

Northeast Community Propel Academy is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Philadelphia City School District, with a diverse student population that is predominantly low-income.

Academically, Northeast Community Propel Academy faces significant challenges. The school's PSSA test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 15% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 20.4% in the Philadelphia City School District and 39.3% in Pennsylvania. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as ranking 1222 out of 1236 Pennsylvania elementary schools for White students and 337 out of 437 for African American students. Additionally, the school's dropout rate, while decreasing, is still higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Rhawnhurst School and Holme Thomas School, Northeast Community Propel Academy generally performs worse academically. This may be due in part to the school's lower spending per student compared to some of its neighbors. However, the school does have some bright spots, such as its effective strategies for supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) student population, which ranked 107 out of 196 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023.

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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
