Summary

Mastery Cs-Smedley Campus is an elementary public charter school in Philadelphia, PA, serving grades KG-6 with a student population of 776. The school is part of the Mastery CS-Smedley Campus district, which is ranked 504 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Mastery Cs-Smedley Campus consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Math proficiency rate for all grades was 19.6%, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school's performance is particularly weak for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with a Math proficiency rate of only 9.7% in 2024-2025, ranking in the bottom 30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. Interestingly, nearby schools like Ziegler William High School and The Philadelphia Charter School for Arts and Sciences at HR Edmunds generally perform better than Mastery Cs-Smedley Campus on academic metrics, despite serving similar student populations.

Mastery Cs-Smedley Campus has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.21% to 99.61% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.6 to 18 over the past few years, and spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $16,483 to $20,222. However, these resource allocation factors do not appear to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to explore more targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
