Summary

Mifflin Thomas School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Philadelphia City School District, with 387 students in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Despite spending significantly more per student ($19,874 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, Mifflin Thomas School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mifflin Thomas School consistently underperforms compared to the Philadelphia City School District and the state of Pennsylvania on PSSA assessments, with only 36.3% of students proficient or better in Math and 44% proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 41.7% and 48.5% statewide, respectively. However, the school's African American students and low socioeconomic status students perform relatively better compared to their peers statewide, ranking in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in Math and English Language Arts. Despite these strengths, Mifflin Thomas School has had high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 0.0% to 5.5%, which are significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools in the Philadelphia City School District, such as Cook-Wissahickon School and Lingelbach Anna L School, Mifflin Thomas School performs poorly on PSSA assessments and has a lower SchoolDigger rating. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (100% free/reduced lunch) and the school's location in a high-poverty neighborhood may contribute to the challenges Mifflin Thomas faces in improving academic outcomes. Despite the school's higher per-student funding and relatively low student-teacher ratio, its performance has remained stagnant over the past decade, indicating a need for a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address the school's unique challenges.
