Summary:
The 19111 zip code area of Philadelphia is home to 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. This diverse educational landscape serves the local community, with varying levels of academic performance and student demographics.
Among the standout schools in the area, Fox Chase School emerges as a top performer, with high proficiency rates in science, English Language Arts, and math. The MaST Community Charter School II and Tacony Academy Charter School, both alternative schools, also demonstrate strong academic results, outperforming many of the traditional public schools in the area. Graduation rates and dropout rates are generally high and low, respectively, across the high schools and alternative schools.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in student performance, with some schools, such as Fels Samuel High School and Carnell Laura High School, struggling to meet state and district averages in key subjects. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all schools suggests that the 19111 zip code area faces socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to these performance gaps. The data also indicates that smaller class sizes, as seen in the higher-performing schools, may be a factor in their success.
