Summary:
West Phila. Achievement CES is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-5 in this area, with a total enrollment of 655 students. Based on the available data, this school appears to be consistently underperforming compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for the past three years and receiving a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) are significantly below the state averages, with only 12.1% of students proficient in Math and 14.7% proficient in ELA, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. Additionally, the school's Science proficiency rate of 56.4% is also lower than the state average of 65.8%. These persistent academic challenges suggest that West Phila. Achievement CES is struggling to provide effective instruction and support for its students.
Despite the high level of funding, with $18,364 spent per student, and a student-teacher ratio of 29.7, the school's performance remains well below state standards. This indicates that simply increasing spending may not be enough to drive meaningful improvements, and the school may need to address other factors, such as instructional practices, targeted interventions, and resource inequities, to improve student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that West Phila. Achievement CES faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.
