Summary

Baden Academy Charter School is an elementary school located in Baden, Pennsylvania, serving 603 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Baden Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 464 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its relatively high spending per student, ranging from $13,398 to $16,715 over the past few years, Baden Academy Charter School consistently underperforms compared to the state average in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 35.4%, compared to the state average of 41.7%, and its ELA proficiency rate was 30.7%, compared to the state average of 48.5%. The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 759 out of 1,530 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,085 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025, and its star rating decreasing from 3 stars to 1 star during this period.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Rochester Area Elementary School, which is 4.68 miles away, Baden Academy Charter School generally underperforms in both Math and ELA proficiency across all grade levels. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Baden Academy Charter School (over 65% in recent years) suggests that the school serves a population with a lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to its academic challenges. The school's increasing student-teacher ratio, from 13.9 in 2021-2022 to 15.4 in 2023-2024, also suggests that the school may have opportunities to optimize its resources and staffing to improve student outcomes.
