Summary:

The zip code 19140 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 12 elementary schools, serving grades ranging from pre-kindergarten to 8th grade. These schools include a mix of public and public charter institutions, each with its own unique performance and student demographics.

Among the standout schools in this area, Antonia Pantoja Community Charter School emerges as a top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science across most grade levels. In contrast, Munoz-Marin Luis and Kenderton Elementary School, both public schools, have some of the lowest proficiency rates, significantly underperforming compared to the district and state averages. Mastery Prep Elementary Charter School also performs relatively well, with higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts than the district and state.

The data reveals a significant performance gap between the charter schools and the traditional public schools in the area, with the charter schools consistently outperforming their counterparts across multiple metrics. Additionally, the schools with higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios tend to perform better, suggesting that resource allocation and class size may be important factors in student success. However, the statewide school digger rank history shows that the performance of many of these schools has been consistently low over the past few years, with little improvement observed.
