Summary:
Frederick Douglass Mastery Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Frederick Douglass Mastery Charter School District located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 556 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
The school's performance metrics paint a concerning picture. Its proficiency rates on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 9.2% of students proficient or better in math compared to the state average of 41.7%. Additionally, the school has a 1.4% dropout rate and 99.46% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $21,254 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.3 to 1, these resources do not appear to be translating into academic success for the students.
Overall, the data indicates that Frederick Douglass Mastery Charter School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently low rankings, poor test scores, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest the need for significant improvements to better serve the students and community it is intended to support.
