Summary

Taylor Bayard School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA, serving 386 students in grades K-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.

Taylor Bayard School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.5% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 41.7% statewide and 25% in the district. In ELA, the proficiency rate was just 8.7%, compared to 48.5% statewide and 33.4% in the district. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for Hispanic students and English Language Learners in both Math and ELA.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as Cramp William School, McClure Alexander K School, and Bethune Mary McLeod School, also perform poorly, with proficiency rates in the single digits or low teens for both Math and ELA. This suggests a systemic issue within the Philadelphia City School District. In contrast, the charter schools in the area, such as Laboratory Charter School and Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School, generally outperform the traditional public schools, with higher proficiency rates in both Math and ELA.
