Summary

Day Anna B School is an elementary school in the Philadelphia City School District, serving 354 students in grades PK-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Day Anna B School significantly underperforms compared to the Philadelphia City School District and the state of Pennsylvania on standardized tests. In 2024-2025, only 8.4% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 25% for the district and 41.7% for the state. In English Language Arts, 25% of students were proficient, compared to 33.4% for the district and 48.5% for the state. The school also has had concerning dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 1.1% to 5.5%, which is high for an elementary school.

Despite these challenges, Day Anna B School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, which is better than the nearby Emlen Eleanor C School and Samuel Pennypacker School. However, the school spends significantly more per student ($22,469 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, likely due to the high-needs population it serves. Addressing the root causes of Day Anna B School's underperformance will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve instructional quality and student engagement.
