Summary:
Chester Community Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Chester, Pennsylvania area. With a total enrollment of 4,193 students, this public charter school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 school years, indicating a persistent and systemic issue with the school's academic performance.
The school's proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts (ELA), and Science are dramatically lower than the state averages, with only 3.7% of students proficient or better in Math and 10% proficient or better in ELA in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate of 1.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. These academic challenges suggest that students at Chester Community Charter School are not receiving the necessary support and resources to achieve success.
The school's high-poverty student population, with 99.93% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the high per-student spending of $22,692, indicates that the school is serving a predominantly low-income community with significant resource needs. The relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.1 may also contribute to the school's struggles, as it could make it challenging to provide individualized attention and support to students. Overall, the data suggests that Chester Community Charter School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
