Summary:
Universal Creighton Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Universal Creighton Charter School district in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 673 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, placing it among the lowest-performing schools in the state.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with math proficiency rates across all grade levels falling below the state average, particularly in 8th grade where just 18% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 30.5%. While the school's English Language Arts and Science proficiency rates are closer to the state averages, the overall picture suggests that Universal Creighton Charter School is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. This is further evidenced by the school's high dropout rate of 1.4% and its extremely high percentage of students (99.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,784, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. The school's low rankings and poor performance across multiple subject areas highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and its student population. With a focus on improving math proficiency, supporting the needs of economically disadvantaged students, and ensuring the efficient allocation of resources, Universal Creighton Charter School has the potential to provide a better educational experience for its students.
