Summary:
Provident Charter School is the sole middle school serving grades 2-8 in the Provident Charter School district, with a total enrollment of 323 students. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, currently ranking 756 out of 873 Pennsylvania middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Provident Charter School's academic performance is significantly below the state averages across both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, with only 11.6% of students proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school has a relatively high dropout rate of 1.4% and a high percentage of students (49.85%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's high per-student spending of $31,916 for the 2022-2023 school year and a very low student-teacher ratio of 4.7, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
Overall, the data suggests that Provident Charter School is a struggling middle school that is not meeting the academic needs of its students. The declining performance, low proficiency rates, and high dropout rate are all areas of concern that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
