Summary

Cramp William School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA, serving 378 students in grades PK-5. Despite spending significantly more per student than the district average, Cramp William School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cramp William School significantly underperforms compared to the Philadelphia City School District and the state of Pennsylvania on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.3% of Cramp William students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 25% for the district and 41.7% for the state. Similarly, only 15.9% of Cramp William students were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts, compared to 33.4% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, the nearby Pan American Academy Charter School and Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School, which serve similar high-need populations, generally outperform Cramp William School and the Philadelphia City School District on academic measures. This highlights the potential for alternative educational models to better serve students in this community. However, Cramp William School's lack of improvement over the past decade suggests a need for a more comprehensive and sustained approach to addressing the systemic issues within the district.
