Summary

Strawberry Mansion High School is a public high school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving 245 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 473 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Strawberry Mansion High School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Pennsylvania, with rankings between 614 and 680 out of 634 to 686 high schools in the state over the past several years. The school's performance on Keystone Exams is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 0% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 44.3% at the state level and 25.1% in the district. The school's four-year graduation rates, ranging from 69.7% to 87.9%, are also lower than the state and district averages. In comparison, nearby schools like Philadelphia Military Academy at Elverson, Franklin LC, and Dobbins Area Vocational-Technical High School all had four-year graduation rates of 87.9% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Strawberry Mansion High School has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is significantly higher than the state and district averages, and it is a key factor that likely contributes to the school's academic challenges. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American students, male students, and students with disabilities, suggesting that there may be significant equity issues within the Philadelphia City School District. Despite the high per-student spending at Strawberry Mansion High School, ranging from $21,481 to $26,365 per student in recent years, the investment does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's programs and interventions.
