Summary:

The Pennsylvania STEAM Academy Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-4 in the Pennsylvania STEAM Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 501 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past two years, going from 1209 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1198 out of 1511 in 2024-2025, suggesting it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in the state.

The Pennsylvania STEAM Academy Charter School has significantly lower test scores than the state averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels. In 2024-2025, only 28.9% of students were proficient or better in math compared to the state average of 41.7%, and the school's ELA proficiency rate was 23.7% compared to the state's 48.5%. Additionally, the school serves a high-need, low-income population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's challenges, it has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1, and its per-student spending of $16,307 (2022-2023 school year) is higher than the state average. However, it is unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes for the students at the Pennsylvania STEAM Academy Charter School, which is part of the Pennsylvania STEAM Academy Charter School District.
