Summary

MaST Community Charter School III is an alternative public charter school in Philadelphia, PA that serves 1,307 students in grades KG-9. While the school has seen a decrease in dropout rates over the past few years, it faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly in Math, and has a high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds.

MaST Community Charter School III consistently underperforms the state average in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's overall Math proficiency was 23.4% compared to the state's 41.7%. The school's performance is particularly low in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.7% in 7th grade to 43.2% in 3rd grade, well below the state averages. In English Language Arts, the school's performance is slightly better, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.2% in 4th grade to 49.3% in 8th grade, but still below the state averages. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.9% to 100% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

Compared to nearby charter schools, such as First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School, Mariana Bracetti Academy Charter School, and Maritime Academy Charter School, MaST Community Charter School III's performance is generally lower in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency. However, the school's dropout rates are lower than some of the nearby charter schools. Despite the increasing spending per student at MaST Community Charter School III, the school's academic performance remains relatively low, suggesting that simply increasing spending may not be the sole factor in improving student outcomes.
