Deep Roots Charter School

Deep Roots Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-7 in the Deep Roots Charter School District, which is ranked 577 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has consistently struggled to provide quality education to its 296 students, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three school years.

Despite spending a relatively high amount of $18,414 per student, Deep Roots Charter School has significantly underperformed on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school's high rate of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility (98.99%) suggests that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's persistent struggle to improve student outcomes.

The data indicates that Deep Roots Charter School is in need of targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school and its student population. The school's consistently low performance and high spending per student raise questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need for a deeper examination of the school's practices to better serve its students.
