Data Review

School District of Philadelphia
Data SummaryThe School District examined several data metrics that validated the need to construct a new school.
○ Catchment: The number of students that reside in the Meehan MS catchment and Mayfair catchment has increased over the past five years and is projected to continue to grow. Families are attending District schools at a high level from PK through grade 5. The District is retaining less students when they transition to the middle grades.
○ School Enrollment: The enrollment at 3 schools (Forrest, Brown and Mayfair) is above building capacity. The enrollment at 3 schools (Meehan, Holme, Pollock) is at or below capacity.
○ Building Quality: Buildings are in fair to good condition. Capital spending over the past five years is valued at $13.3M. All the buildings would benefit from investments to improve educational spaces and upgrade building systems.
○ Academic Performance: Based on SPR scores, the academic performance is varied among the 6 schools. Schools in this group have some areas of solid performance, but overall they need to improve.
