Summary

Overbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Philadelphia City School District, with 215 students. Despite its relatively small size, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Overbrook Elementary School's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in both math and English language arts significantly lower than the district and state averages.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.6% of Overbrook students were proficient or better in math, compared to 25% for the district and 41.7% for the state. In English language arts, Overbrook's proficiency rate of 26.3% was also much lower than the district's 33.4% and the state's 48.5%. This trend has been consistent over the past few years, with proficiency rates declining from the low 30s in 2017-2018 to the low 20s in 2022-2023. While the school's African American students perform better than the overall student population, the low-income students (100% free/reduced lunch) consistently rank in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.
