Summary

Morrison Andrew J School is a public elementary school serving 522 students in grades K-8 in the Philadelphia City School District. The school is ranked 1340 out of 1511 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Morrison Andrew J School consistently underperforms the Philadelphia City School District and the state of Pennsylvania in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 9.4% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 25% for the district and 41.7% for the state. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 1.4% to 5.5% between 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. However, the school's spending per student has increased from $13,524 in 2019-2020 to $19,346 in 2022-2023, indicating a focus on increased funding.

Nearby schools in the same district, such as Feltonville Intermediate, Lowell James R, and Olney Elementary, generally perform better than Morrison Andrew J School on test scores and other metrics. However, these schools still struggle compared to the state averages, indicating systemic challenges within the Philadelphia City School District. Addressing the needs of the high-poverty student population and implementing targeted interventions will be crucial for improving Morrison Andrew J School's performance and providing a quality education for its students.
