Summary:
The Philadelphia Electrical & Technology Charter High School is the only school in this data set, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 615 students. Despite maintaining a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%, the school is struggling academically, with consistently low statewide rankings and test scores well below state averages across multiple subjects.
The Philadelphia Electrical & Technology Charter High School has a district rank of 556 out of 606 in Pennsylvania and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its statewide ranking has been consistently low, ranking between 594-597 out of 674-686 Pennsylvania high schools over the past 3 school years, with a 1 out of 5 star rating. Student test scores on the Keystone Exams are significantly below the state averages, with only 5.7% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 44.3%.
The school serves a highly economically disadvantaged student population, with 99.51% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. This, combined with the school's below-average spending per student ($5,694) and higher student-teacher ratio (16.9), likely contributes to the academic challenges the Philadelphia Electrical & Technology Charter High School faces. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes and potential interventions to improve outcomes for this school.
