Summary:
Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest at Huey is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest at Huey district, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 598 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three school years, indicating persistent academic struggles.
The school's academic performance is significantly below the state average in both math and English language arts (ELA) across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 6.6% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 41.7%, and only 16.1% were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 48.5%. Additionally, the school had a 1.4% dropout rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is concerning given the high poverty levels, with 100.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the same year.
Despite the school's high spending per student of $19,569 in the 2022-2023 school year and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 22.1 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the combination of low academic performance, high poverty, and a high dropout rate suggests broader challenges with the school's climate and culture that may be impacting student engagement and success. Addressing these complex issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for the students at Global Leadership Academy Charter School Southwest at Huey.
