Elementary Schools in Philadelphia Montessori Charter School

Summary:

Philadelphia Montessori Charter School is the only elementary school located within the Philadelphia Montessori Charter School district. The school serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade and is situated in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Based on the available data, Philadelphia Montessori Charter School appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 1454 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts, with only 11.1% and 17.6% of students, respectively, achieving proficiency or better.

The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 98.85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($17,970) and smaller class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 12.4), the school is still struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes. This suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution, and the school may require targeted interventions and support to address the specific learning needs of its student population and improve academic achievement.
