The school is part of the Alliance for Progress Charter School District, which is ranked 598 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Alliance for Progress Charter School consistently ranks in the bottom 5-10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools based on the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 1499 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 0-star rating. This places it well below the state average in academic performance. The school's proficiency rates on the PSSA standardized tests are extremely low compared to the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 4.8% of students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 41.7%. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate was 9.5% compared to the state's 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for female students, male students, African American students, low socioeconomic status students, and disabled students.

When comparing Alliance for Progress Charter School to the nearby district schools, such as Duckrey Tanner School, Dunbar Paul L School, and Bache-Martin School, it performs significantly worse on academic metrics like test scores and rankings. The school's high poverty concentration, with 98-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to its academic challenges. Additionally, the school's performance has remained consistently low over the past decade, with little to no improvement in its statewide rankings or test scores.
