Summary:
Ad Prima Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Ad Prima Charter School district located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 582 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ad Prima Charter School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in math, English language arts, and science. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's math and ELA proficiency rates were 20.4% and 36.8%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 40.4% and 53%. The school's high dropout rate of 1.6% in 2022-2023 further highlights the challenges it faces in supporting student success.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student, $17,933 in the 2021-2022 school year. Additionally, the school serves a population with very high levels of economic disadvantage, with 99.66% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. These factors suggest the need for a closer examination of the school's resource allocation and the implementation of targeted strategies to address the unique needs of its student population.
