Summary:
Propel CS-Hazelwood is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Propel CS-Hazelwood district of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite higher-than-average per-student spending, the school's academic performance remains extremely low, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.
Propel CS-Hazelwood serves a student population that faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 98.65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's small student population of 222 students and lower student-teacher ratio of 9.7 suggest potential opportunities for more personalized instruction and targeted interventions. However, the data does not indicate that these factors have translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.
The analysis of the Propel CS-Hazelwood school data highlights the significant challenges the school faces in terms of academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive and targeted approach to improve educational outcomes for the students. While the school's low performance is concerning, the data does not suggest any correlation between the school's performance and the racial makeup of its student population.
