Dear Parent/Guardian,

JOINTLY DEVELOPED

A parent input meeting was held on April 27, 2023 where parents were encouraged to give input into the
development of this Compact.

To understand how working together can benefit your child, it is first important to understand the district’s and school’s goals for student academic achievement.

The Board of Education’s updated Goals and Guardrails are available on the School District Website at www. philasd.org.

Frankford High School GOALS

  • School Goal 1: At least 27% of students will score at Proficient or Advanced on the Algebra I Keystone exam.
  • School Goal 2: At least 60% of students will attend school 95% of days or more.
  • School Goal 3: At least 75% of 9th grade students will earn a minimum of 5 credits (four core plus one more) with As or Bs.
  • School Goal 4: At least 90% of students will have zero out-of-school suspensions.
  • School Goal 5: At least 95% of 12th grade students will be on track for graduation.
  • School Goal 6: At least 47% of students will score at Proficient or Advanced on the English Keystone exam.

To help your child meet the district and school goals, the school, you, and your child will work together:
