Summary:
The 19152 zip code area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 4 elementary schools that are part of the Philadelphia City School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges in providing quality education, as evidenced by their consistently low performance on standardized tests compared to state averages.
Among the standout schools in this area, Pollock Robert B School and Rhawnhurst School demonstrate relatively stronger academic performance, with Pollock Robert B School excelling in PSSA proficiency rates for Math, Science, and English Language Arts, and Rhawnhurst School leading in PSSA Math proficiency. However, all schools in the 19152 zip code area perform significantly below state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the low academic outcomes.
The data also reveals that all schools in this area serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This equity concern, coupled with the variation in resource allocation and distribution within the district, as evidenced by the differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the 19152 zip code area.
