Summary

Logan James School is an elementary school located in Philadelphia, PA, serving 243 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 473 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past several years, Logan James School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 1-star rating in most years. The school's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.7% of Logan James students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 25% for the district and 41.7% for the state.

The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student, but these factors have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.
