Summary:
The 19148 zip code area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools in this area, with some standout institutions and others struggling to meet state standards.
Among the top-performing schools is Jenks Abram School, an elementary school that consistently outperforms the Philadelphia City School District and the state of Pennsylvania on PSSA assessments in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Another high-achieving elementary school is Fell D Newlin School, which also exceeds district and state averages in these key academic areas. In contrast, many of the other schools in the 19148 zip code struggle to meet state standards, pointing to systemic challenges facing the district.
The data also highlights a potential bright spot in Mastery Charter School - Thomas Campus, an alternative school that boasts a higher-than-average four-year graduation rate and relatively strong performance on Keystone Exams. However, the consistently high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all schools in the area underscores the significant socioeconomic challenges facing the community, which likely contribute to the academic struggles seen in many of the institutions.
