Notes from the Field
Submitted by Frank Murphy: October 16, 2012
The Philadelphia School Partnership has gone live with a new website that ranks schools in the city of Philadelphia according to five categories:
• Academics (based on standardized test results in Reading and Math: PSSA {public and charter schools}Terra Nova {parochial schools})
• Safety (based on fewest number of self reported serious incidents)
• Student Attendance (self reported)
•Achievement Gap (“an indicator of a school’s record in helping students of limited financial means learn”) It is not clear what this indicator means or how the gap is determined.
• College Bound (how many high school graduates enroll in 2 or 4- year college in the year after high school) It is not clear if this is also self-reported.
This site lists nearly all of the public, charter and parochial
