Perseus House CS of Excellence

Located in the heart of Erie, Pennsylvania, at 1511 Peach Street, the Perseus House Charter School of Excellence functions as an active, independent charter school district serving a small city community. Operating as a single-facility district designated to administer federal programs, it provides tuition-free public education tailored for middle and high school students across sixth through twelfth grades. The district fosters a diverse and inclusive learning environment, supporting a total enrollment of 627 students. This vibrant student body represents a rich mix of backgrounds—including prominent representation among Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial populations—alongside a balanced gender demographic of 324 female and 303 male learners.

Academic progression within the district shifts gradually from the middle school grades into a heavily populated high school curriculum, where ninth through twelfth graders make up the majority of the student body. To ensure these students receive comprehensive instruction and personal guidance, the district relies on a substantial professional team. Its academic framework is led by approximately 67 full-time equivalent teachers, backed by dedicated instructional aides and an expansive support staff of nearly 92 full-time equivalent personnel. Bringing the total workforce to 161 full-time equivalent staff members, this robust staffing context allows the district to offer both robust academic coursework and specialized wraparound services tailored to the Erie community.
