Summary

Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School is a public virtual charter school serving over 10,000 students in grades PK-12 in Midland, PA. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of around 87-88%, it also has a higher dropout rate of 6% compared to the state average.

Academically, Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with only 15% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math compared to the state's 41.7%. The school's Keystone Exam results are also significantly lower than the state, with just 18.9% proficient in Algebra I, 24.4% in Biology, and 45.4% in Literature. Despite the school's high per-student spending of around $16,000, which is significantly more than the state average, these academic outcomes raise concerns about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

Compared to the nearby Pennsylvania Distance Learning Charter School, which has a student-teacher ratio of 11.6:1, Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School has a higher ratio of 24:1. However, the lack of other nearby comparison schools makes it challenging to fully understand how the school performs relative to its local competitors. The school's leadership should closely examine these areas and develop a comprehensive plan to address the identified issues and improve the educational experience and outcomes for its students.

What people are saying
by a student
Sunday, April 2, 2017

Open Quote The teachers don't really attempt to resolve issues, many teachers don't even understand the basic interface of the virtual classroom or how to upload homework correctly, students not even being present and forcing the very few students actually there to do all work is a persistent problem, technical issues including the school getting hacked (which has happened almost every year), the tech department not fixing anything they need to (physical like laptops and website errors), and general laziness along with lack of responsibility seem to be the main problems. Headsets supplied are very cheap and stop working on their own, any and all technical issues with computers are 'resolved' by deleting every single thing on the computer, and physical damage to computers either result in getting a new computer that blocks everything related to simple research and function (which is rare considering the lack of money), or results in a partially fixed computer with new smudges and bread crumbs added in the mix. There seems to be a very severe lack of professionalism. There is some good mixed into the bad, like some good teachers who understand how to do their jobs well, but the general system is not good at all. Close Quote
