Summary

Vision Academy Charter School is an elementary school located in East Lansdowne, PA that serves grades PK-8 with 529 students. It is part of the Vision Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 408 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vision Academy Charter School consistently underperforms the state average on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 28.9% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math compared to the state average of 41.7%. Similarly, only 35.9% were proficient or better in PSSA English Language Arts compared to the state average of 48.5%. However, the school stands out in its performance for African American students, who ranked 115 out of 413 Pennsylvania elementary schools in PSSA Math, earning a 4-star rating. This is in stark contrast to the school's overall 1-star rating.

When comparing Vision Academy Charter School to the nearby public schools in the William Penn School District and the Upper Darby School District, it becomes clear that Vision Academy is underperforming. Schools like W.B. Evans Elementary, Ardmore Avenue Elementary, and East Lansdowne Elementary all outperform Vision Academy on PSSA assessments, despite serving similar student populations with high rates of poverty and free/reduced lunch eligibility. Additionally, Vision Academy Charter School spends significantly more per student than the nearby schools, with spending ranging from $11,612 to $20,538 per student over the past few years, but this high spending does not seem to translate to improved academic outcomes.
