SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,511 Pennsylvania Elementary Schools

Better than 17% of Pennsylvania elementary schools

Summary

Juniata Park Academy is an elementary school serving 865 students in grades K-8 in the Philadelphia City School District. Despite its large size, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Juniata Park Academy's academic performance is a significant concern, with test scores that are well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 19% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 41.7% statewide and 25% in the Philadelphia district. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rate of 28.2% also lags the state (48.5%) and district (33.4%) averages. Additionally, Juniata Park Academy has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 1.0% to 5.5% over the past few years, which is concerning for an elementary school.

Compared to nearby schools in the Philadelphia City School District, such as Hopkinson Francis School, Feltonville Intermediate School, and Sheridan School, Juniata Park Academy's performance is consistently worse. The nearby charter schools, such as Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School and Northwood Academy Charter School, also generally outperform Juniata Park Academy on test scores and other metrics. Despite spending between $12,304 and $17,671 per student, which is on par with or slightly higher than the spending at nearby schools, Juniata Park Academy's academic outcomes remain significantly below expectations.
