Summary:
The Urban Academy of Greater Pittsburgh Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Urban Academy of Greater Pittsburgh Charter School district. This public charter school is located in an urban area and has an enrollment of 343 students.
The school is performing significantly below the state average in both math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.3% to 32.2% compared to the state averages of 41.7% to 53.5% in math and 44.7% to 48.6% in ELA. The school's 4th grade science proficiency rate of 61.1% is also slightly below the state average of 77.1%. These academic struggles are reflected in the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.
Despite the school's high spending of $22,700 per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 to 1, the academic performance remains a significant concern. The school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, over 100%, suggests a high-need student population that may require additional support and resources to improve educational outcomes. Addressing the school's academic deficiencies should be a top priority for the district and school leadership.
