Summary:
There is only one elementary school located within the Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School district - the Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School. This school serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade and is located in a high-poverty area. Based on the available data, the school appears to be underperforming academically compared to other elementary schools across Pennsylvania.
The Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School has a dropout rate of 1.4%, which is slightly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on standardized math and English language arts exams are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels, with only 29.6% of students scoring proficient or better in math compared to the state average of 41.7%. Despite spending $20,603 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The data suggests that the school faces systemic challenges in effectively educating its student population, which is entirely composed of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as effective instructional practices, teacher quality, and support for students' social-emotional needs, will be crucial for improving the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School.
