Summary:
Freire Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 8-12 in Wilmington, Delaware, with a total enrollment of 411 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be performing below average compared to other high schools in the state. With a ranking of 37th out of 41 high schools and a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Freire Charter School faces significant challenges in key areas such as graduation rates, dropout rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism.
The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.9% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 3.9% is higher than the state average. Freire Charter School's test scores are also significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 22.97% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 47.41%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% is higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher spending per student ($13,729) and lower student-teacher ratio (15.2:1), these resources do not appear to be translating into better outcomes for students. The school's performance has remained relatively consistent over the past few years, with little improvement in its rankings or test scores, suggesting the need for more comprehensive and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes at Freire Charter School in Freire Charter School Wilmington.
