Summary

Prince Hall School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA, serving 375 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 473 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Prince Hall School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 8% of students proficient or better in Math and 15.5% in English Language Arts (ELA) in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 25% and 33.4% for the district, and 41.7% and 48.5% for the state, respectively. Additionally, Prince Hall School has an extremely high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. When looking at specific student subgroups, the school performs particularly poorly for male students and students with disabilities.

Despite the high per-student spending of $19,463 in the 2022-2023 school year, Prince Hall School has shown little to no improvement in its academic performance over the past 10 years. Comparing the school to nearby elementary schools in the same district, such as Howe Julia Ward School and Rowen William School, Prince Hall School performs significantly worse across most metrics. Additionally, some nearby charter schools, like Mastery Cs-Francis D. Pastorius Elementary and West Oak Lane Charter School, outperform Prince Hall School in both Math and ELA proficiency, despite serving a similar student population.
