Summary:
Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School District, which is ranked 485 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 710 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low proficiency rates in PSSA Math, English Language Arts (ELA), and Science compared to state averages.
The school's overall proficiency rates for the 2024-2025 school year were 15.4% in Math and 31.9% in ELA, well below the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. While 3rd-grade students performed better than other grade levels in both Math and ELA, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Science were also below the state average at 58.9% compared to 65.8%. Additionally, the school's dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 1.4%.
The data suggests that Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School serves a predominantly low-income population, with 75.21% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $22,687 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic outcomes indicate that the school may need to explore more effective strategies and interventions to support student learning and improve overall educational outcomes.
