Summary:

Harding Warren G Middle School is a public middle school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving 622 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Harding Warren G Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harding Warren G Middle School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 2.6% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 21.8% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and those from low-income families. Additionally, Harding Warren G Middle School has had relatively high dropout rates in recent years, ranging from 1.1% to 5.9%, which are higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Harding Warren G Middle School to nearby schools in the Philadelphia City School District, such as Feltonville School of Arts & Sciences and Conwell Russell Middle School, it becomes clear that Harding Warren G is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $12,786 to $19,242 per student, this does not seem to translate into improved outcomes. Addressing the specific challenges faced by Harding Warren G Middle School and its student population will likely require a comprehensive, targeted approach to improve educational outcomes for the students.

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.
