Summary:
The Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School District. With a total enrollment of 298 students, the school's academic performance is consistently below the state average in both math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels.
The school's math proficiency rates range from 15.2% to 35.3%, significantly lower than the state average of 30.5% to 53.5%. Similarly, the school's ELA proficiency rates, ranging from 29.4% to 50%, are below the state average of 44.7% to 55.8%. While the school's science proficiency rates are closer to the state average, the overall academic performance suggests the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Despite the low academic performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($26,143) compared to the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 7.6 to 1, which may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's performance and identify potential strategies for improvement.
