Summary

Feltonville School of Arts & Sciences is a mid-sized middle school in Philadelphia, PA, serving 543 students in grades 6-8 within the Philadelphia City School District, where nearly all students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

While the school's overall academic performance has been consistently low—ranking in the bottom 14th percentile statewide—it stands out for its exceptional work with English Language Learners (ELL), who perform at the 47th percentile, a stark contrast to its overall ranking. This is a major strength that many nearby schools struggle to match. Additionally, Feltonville boasts a remarkably low dropout rate of just 0.8%, far better than the district average of 2.2% and significantly lower than nearby Conwell Russell Middle School (1.4%) or Memphis Street Academy Charter School @ JP Jones (6.0%). This suggests a strong, supportive school culture that keeps students engaged. Interestingly, the school also shows a "7th grade bump" in math, with proficiency jumping to 14.2% that year—the highest of any grade—hinting at a particularly effective teacher or program. However, the school struggles significantly with supporting students with disabilities, who perform at the 9th percentile, and its science scores (8.2% proficient) lag far behind the district average (41.3%), raising questions about the "Arts & Sciences" focus.

Compared to peers, Feltonville offers a stable, predictable environment in a volatile neighborhood. While Clemente Roberto Middle School has dropped to the 0th percentile and Wagner Gen Louis Middle School ranks in the 3rd percentile despite spending $25,284 per student, Feltonville spends a more efficient $21,620 per student. Even AMY at Martin, which spends a staggering $62,581 per student, only achieves a 22nd percentile ranking—only slightly better than Feltonville's 14th. For families, Feltonville represents a known quantity: a school that may not excel academically but provides a stable, supportive environment with targeted strengths, especially for English Language Learners.

One of the worst schools in the district. I'm glad I took my child out. There were students threatening to shoot up the school- not safe. Close Quote
