SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,511 Pennsylvania Elementary Schools

Better than 16% of Pennsylvania elementary schools

Summary

Overbrook Edu Center is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA that serves 260 students in grades K-8. 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.

Overbrook Edu Center has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the district and state averages in both math and English Language Arts proficiency, with only 12.6% of students proficient in math compared to 25% for the district and 41.7% for the state. While the school performs relatively better for its African American student population, its performance for low socioeconomic status students is extremely poor, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for this subgroup.

Interestingly, the nearby Lamberton Robert E School, Lewis C Cassidy Academics Plus School, and Overbrook Elementary School also perform poorly and are ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. However, the charter school options in the area, such as Ad Prima Charter School and Harambee Institute of Science and Technology Charter School, tend to outperform the district schools. This suggests that factors beyond just resource allocation, such as instructional quality and school leadership, may be contributing to the underperformance of Overbrook Edu Center and the surrounding district schools.
