Summary:
Philadelphia Hebrew Public Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-5 in this data set, with 489 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages in Math, English Language Arts (ELA), and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 13.8%, compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its ELA proficiency rate was 18.2%, compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's Science proficiency rate for 4th grade in 2023-2024 was also lower than the state average.
The school's ranking has been declining over the past three school years, from 1320 out of 1526 in 2023-2024 to 1341 out of 1534 in 2022-2023, and it is currently ranked 1364 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 0-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, may be contributing to its academic struggles and could require targeted interventions and support.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,918 for the 2022-2023 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic outcomes do not reflect the investment, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and resource utilization. The lack of significant improvement in the school's performance over the past three school years raises concerns about its ability to effectively address the challenges it faces and improve student outcomes.
