Keystone Academy Charter School

Keystone Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Keystone Academy Charter School district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 663 students, the school faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates lag behind the state average.

While Keystone Academy Charter School maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 1.4%, its academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 28% of students scored proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school's performance has also declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping to 971 out of 1,511 Pennsylvania elementary schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite these challenges, Keystone Academy Charter School serves a high-need population, with 88.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are closer to the state averages, suggesting potential areas for improvement. However, the significant gaps in Math proficiency, particularly in the upper grade levels, indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to enhance student learning and achievement.
