Summary:
Achievement House Charter School is the sole high school serving grades 7-12 in the Achievement House Charter School District, which is ranked 546 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 1,083 students, the school is struggling academically, with consistently low test scores and a declining statewide ranking.
The school's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. However, the school's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 4.9% of students proficient or better in PSSA/Math for all grades, compared to the state average of 41.7%. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $13,348 is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the effectiveness of the school's educational programs.
The high percentage of students (63.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that Achievement House Charter School serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, which may contribute to the low academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school's leadership and community will need to work together to identify and address the root causes of the academic achievement gap and implement strategies to improve student outcomes.
