Summary:
The 19132 zip code area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 6 elementary schools serving grades ranging from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade, including a mix of public and public charter institutions.
While the KIPP Philadelphia Charter School and KIPP North Philadelphia Charter School have the highest test scores in the group, they still perform well below state and district averages, suggesting an overall academic struggle across the schools in this area. The Rhodes E Washington School stands out with the highest enrollment at 392 students and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.9, while the Allen Dr Ethel School has the highest per-student spending at $28,918.
Notably, all of the schools in the 19132 zip code have extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 99.55% to 100.39%, indicating that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This likely contributes to the overall low academic performance, with most schools having less than 20% of students proficient or better in math and English language arts. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and ensuring equitable resource distribution may be key to improving outcomes for these schools and their students.
