Summary:
Boys' Latin of Philadelphia Charter School is the only school in the data set, serving grades 6-12 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 773 students, the school appears to be underperforming academically compared to state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. Despite a relatively high graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%, the school's proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science are significantly below the state averages.
The school serves a high-need population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may face socioeconomic challenges that impact student outcomes. Additionally, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($17,704) compared to the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into stronger academic performance based on the test score data.
Overall, the data paints a picture of a school that is struggling academically, despite serving a high-need student population and investing significant resources per student. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's underperformance and identify potential strategies for improvement. The school's low proficiency rates across multiple subject areas and grade levels indicate that parents in the area may want to consider other educational options for their children.
