Summary:
Mastery CS-Harrity Campus is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Mastery CS-Harrity Campus district of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Despite receiving relatively high per-student funding, this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years and has significantly underperformed the state average on standardized tests.
According to the data, only 21.3% of students at Mastery CS-Harrity Campus were proficient or better in Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to the state average of 41.7%. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate was 36.6%, while the state average was 48.5%. The school's dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 1.4%. These metrics suggest that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
The data also reveals that Mastery CS-Harrity Campus serves a predominantly low-income population, with 99.62% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's per-student spending of $18,280 for the 2022-2023 school year is relatively high, this funding does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This raises questions about how the resources are being allocated and utilized within the school to support student learning and achievement.
