The Sojourner Truth School PCS

The Sojourner Truth School PCS is the only school in this group, serving 292 students in grades 6–12, so families have no other school in the list to compare it with. Its clearest strength is all-grades ELA, which is above the state result, while math is slightly below and several high-school course results are also below state levels.

The Sojourner Truth School PCS is both the group’s highest- and lowest-scoring school by default; that does not show how it compares with other local schools. In 2025–2026, 48% of students were proficient in all-grades ELA, versus 40% statewide, an 8-point advantage; in math, 26% were proficient, versus 28% statewide, a 3-point gap below the state. Middle-grade results show a stronger ELA profile: the school was above the state in grades 6, 7, and 8 by 14, 7, and 12 points. Math varied by grade: eighth grade was 10 points above the state, while seventh grade was 2 points below. High-school course results were less favorable: English I and English II were 8 and 9 points below state results in the latest reported year, and Geometry was 11 points below.

The ELA advantage narrowed and math fell further behind the state, even as the school’s math score rose slightly. All-grades ELA proficiency declined from 50% in 2024–2025 to 48% in 2025–2026, while the state rose from 38% to 40%; the school’s advantage narrowed by 4 points. Math rose from 25% to 26%, but the state increased from 26% to 28%, widening the school’s shortfall by 1 point. SchoolDigger’s rank history also moved down, from 9 of 35 schools and 4 stars in 2024–2025 to 15 of 37 and 3 stars in 2025–2026. The student-teacher ratio was 9.4 in 2024–2025; 37% of students were directly certified for free meals that year. Those figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
