Summary:
The 19150 zip code area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data reveals stark differences in the performance of these schools, with Hill Freedman World Academy standing out as the top performer, while the two elementary schools, Franklin S Edmonds School and McCloskey John F School, struggle to meet district and state averages in key metrics.
Hill Freedman World Academy, the high school, excels across several measures, including higher proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and Keystone exams, as well as a strong 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%. In contrast, the two elementary schools lag behind, with overall math and ELA proficiency well below the Philadelphia City School District and state averages. However, the elementary schools do show some bright spots, such as 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency at McCloskey John F School exceeding district and state levels.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the schools in the 19150 zip code, with all three schools having extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 100% to 100.24%. This high poverty level may be a contributing factor to the academic performance issues observed. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending between the schools, ranging from $18,712 to $22,048, suggest potential funding disparities that could be impacting the schools' ability to provide resources and support for their students.
