Summary:

The 19145 zip code of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. This area faces significant educational inequities, with stark contrasts in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones.

The standout schools in this area are Gamp, a high school that ranks 41st out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and has exceptional test scores and a 100% four-year graduation rate, and Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School, an alternative school with a diverse student population, strong academic performance, and a 100% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, schools like McDaniel Delaplaine School and Universal Vare Charter School struggle with significantly lower test scores and graduation rates.

The data suggests a potential correlation between higher spending per student and better academic outcomes, with schools like Bregy F Amedee School and Girard Stephen School having the highest spending per student and also tending to have higher test scores and graduation rates. However, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools indicate that many students in the 19145 zip code face significant economic challenges, which likely contributes to the lower academic performance observed in some of the schools. The presence of several charter schools, such as Gamp and Philadelphia Performing Arts Charter School, suggests that school choice may be playing a role in providing educational opportunities for families in the area.
