Summary:
The area list includes one school, Philip’s Academy Charter School, a PK–8 school with 730 students; test results cover grades 3–8. With no other schools in the list, families can compare its grade-level results with state figures, but not with nearby schools in this data set. The most important pattern is that results vary substantially by grade, especially in ELA: proficiency ranges from 35% in grade 4 to 61% in grade 8, a 26-point spread.
The school’s clearest strength is eighth-grade Algebra I: 86% were proficient in 2025–2026, about 12 percentage points above the state’s 75%. Grade 8 math also exceeded the state rate, 38% to 23%, while ELA was 8 points higher than the state. The weakest comparisons are concentrated in grade 5: science proficiency was 9% versus 27% statewide, and math was 29% versus 46%; grade 5 ELA was 35% versus 52%. Grade 4 ELA was also below the state, 35% to 46%. These are standout grades and subjects within the school, rather than a ranking against other area schools.
Year-to-year results moved in different directions: the school’s equal-weighted ELA average across grades 3–8 fell from 52% to 49%, while its math average rose from 35% to 38%. The math gap with the state narrowed from 5 points to 3; the ELA gap widened from about 2 points to about 3. Eighth-grade Algebra I remained a strength but fell from 100% to 86%, while grade 8 science rose from 0% to 17%. SchoolDigger gives the school 2 stars; its ranking improved from 937th of 1,347 schools (30th percentile) to 847th of 1,331 (36th percentile). For context, in 2024–2025, 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the student–teacher ratio was 25.1, and chronic absenteeism was 19% versus 14% statewide. These context measures are observations, not explanations for test results.
