Summary:
Mastery CS-Gratz Campus is the sole public charter high school serving grades 7-12 in the area, with a total enrollment of 1,036 students. The school's performance, however, raises significant concerns, as it consistently falls short of state averages across key academic metrics.
Despite a relatively high spending of $23,405 per student and a student-teacher ratio of 17.5, the school's academic outcomes are troubling. Its 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. However, the school's proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades, as well as on the Keystone Exams for Algebra I, Biology, and Literature, are significantly lower than the state averages in both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. This suggests that Mastery CS-Gratz Campus is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
The school's high rate of 99.71% free/reduced lunch recipients indicates that it serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation. While the school's spending per student is relatively high, the consistently low academic performance raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the effectiveness of the school's educational programs. Overall, the data suggests that Mastery CS-Gratz Campus may need to implement significant improvements to its educational programs, teaching practices, and resource allocation in order to better serve its students and improve their academic outcomes.
