Summary

Pan American Academy Charter School is an elementary school serving 751 students in grades K-8 in the 19133 zip code of Philadelphia, PA. The school is part of the Pan American Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 583 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $18,021 to $21,836 per year, Pan American Academy Charter School consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on the PSSA exams are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6.3% of students were proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 41.7%, and only 15.1% were proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners.

When comparing Pan American Academy Charter School to the nearby Munoz-Marin Luis Elementary School in the Philadelphia City School District, it becomes clear that the charter school is performing significantly worse academically. In 2024-2025, Munoz-Marin Luis had 6.2% of students proficient or better in Math and 16.6% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 6.3% and 15.1% respectively at Pan American Academy Charter School. The school's performance has remained consistently low over the past several years, with little to no improvement in its state rankings or proficiency rates, suggesting that significant changes may be needed to improve the quality of education provided to its students.

Tuesday, December 23, 2014

I like the fact that everyone treats each other with respect and like family. For the parents that drive and drop off their children there are school staffs outside in the mornings leading the children to the school yard. As a parent I feel my daughter is safe. Close Quote
