Summary:
Eugenio Maria DE Hostos Charter School is the sole elementary school (grades K-8) in the Eugenio Maria De Hostos Charter School District, which is ranked 460 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 486 students, the school faces significant challenges, including a very high percentage of students (86.83%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Academically, the school is underperforming, with proficiency rates on the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests that are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels in both math and English language arts (ELA). The school's math proficiency rate is 27.1% for the 2024-2025 school year, and the ELA proficiency rate is 34.4%. These low academic achievement levels suggest the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Additionally, the school has a relatively high dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may indicate challenges in student retention and support. Despite the school's high spending of $29,175 per student, these academic and student engagement challenges persist, highlighting the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to address the root causes of the school's underperformance and support the unique needs of its student population.
