Circle of Seasons Charter School consistently outperforms the state average in PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (41.8%), Science (85.4%), and English Language Arts (70.2%) were significantly higher than the state averages (40.4%, 65.8%, and 53%, respectively). The school's performance is particularly strong in 4th and 5th-grade PSSA Math, where the proficiency rates were 52% and 50%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 48.7% and 42.8%. Additionally, the school has maintained a very low dropout rate, with 0% reported in the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 school years.

Compared to nearby public schools, such as Cetronia School, Willow Lane Elementary School, and Fogelsville School in the Parkland School District, Circle of Seasons Charter School's test scores, particularly in Math and Science, are generally higher. However, the school's variable spending per student and lack of data on socioeconomic factors make it difficult to fully assess the factors contributing to its academic success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
