Multicultural Academy Charter School

Summary:

Multicultural Academy Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, with a total enrollment of 244 students. Based on the available data, the school appears to be underperforming compared to other high schools in the state, with a declining statewide ranking, lower-than-average test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, and its proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams are significantly lower than the statewide averages, particularly in Algebra I and Biology. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 394 out of 674 in 2022-2023 to 478 out of 686 in 2023-2024 and 468 out of 681 in 2024-2025, indicating it is struggling to keep pace with other high schools in Pennsylvania.

Despite the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (98.77% receive free or reduced-price lunch), its spending per student of $16,386 is only slightly above the state average. This suggests that the school may not have adequate resources and support to address the challenges faced by its student population. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 is generally considered favorable, but it does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
