Universal Creighton Charter School

Universal Creighton Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Universal Creighton Charter School District located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The school has a total enrollment of 673 students and is part of a district ranked 281 out of 606 in the state, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Universal Creighton Charter School has mixed performance on PSSA tests compared to state averages, with higher proficiency in some grades but lower in others, the school shows consistent year-over-year improvement in its academic outcomes. The school's dropout rate is relatively low at 1.4%, and it spends $18,784 per student, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16:1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning and support.

However, the school faces significant challenges, with 99.55% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This likely requires the school to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of its students. The lower proficiency rates in 5th, 7th, and 8th grade math also suggest that the school may need to focus on strengthening its math curriculum and instruction, particularly in the upper elementary and middle school grades.
