How Antonia Pantoja Community Cs compares with Pennsylvania and U.S. medians
What stands out at Antonia Pantoja Community Cs
Antonia Pantoja Community Cs is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, enrolling 752 students.
Class loads run heavy: 18.3:1 is larger than about 95% of Pennsylvania schools and 35% above the 13.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 81.8% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 752 puts it in the larger third of Pennsylvania schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 94% of the 2,889 Pennsylvania schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 86 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Pennsylvania schools statewide, it ranks #74, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (96% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 8/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 376 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 29.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 24.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Philadelphia's elementary schools, it stands alongside Northeast Community Propel Academy (1,783 students): Antonia Pantoja Community Cs is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (18.3:1 vs 22.6:1).
Antonia Pantoja Community Cs is a single-school charter district, so Antonia Pantoja Community Cs operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
