Elementary Schools in Arts Academy Elementary Charter School

Summary:

Arts Academy Elementary Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Arts Academy Elementary Charter School district. This public charter school serves students in grades K-5 with an enrollment of 445 students.

Based on the available data, Arts Academy Elementary Charter School appears to be a struggling institution, performing well below the state average on standardized tests. The school is ranked 1382 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates in math and reading range from just 10.6% to 20.7%, compared to state averages of 44% to 53.5%. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1 and spending of $3,774 per student, the school's academic outcomes are significantly lagging.

One potential contributing factor to the school's challenges is its high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Further investigation would be needed to fully understand the root causes of the school's underperformance and identify potential areas for improvement to better serve the needs of its students.
