Summary:
Pan American Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school in the Pan American Academy Charter School district, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With an enrollment of 751 students, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 99.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Based on the available data, Pan American Academy Charter School is a low-performing institution, ranking 1460 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 academic performance is significantly below the state averages, with only 6.3% of students proficient in Math and 15.1% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the Pennsylvania averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively.
Despite the high spending per student ($20,441) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9, the school has struggled to improve its academic outcomes, with its statewide ranking declining over the past few years. This suggests that the school's challenges may extend beyond just resource allocation and require a comprehensive review of its strategies, support systems, and overall approach to addressing the needs of its predominantly low-income student population.
