Summary:
The 15120 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Steel Valley School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 449 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating, the performance of the individual schools in this area varies significantly.
Park Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently exceeding the district and state averages on key metrics such as PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency rates. In contrast, Barrett Elementary School appears to be the weakest performer, scoring below the district and state on PSSA assessments. The high schools, Steel Valley Senior High School and Propel Cs-Homestead, have relatively low dropout rates but also lag behind state averages on test scores.
The data also reveals that all schools in the 15120 zip code area have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.25% to 100%, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests that resource allocation and staffing may be factors contributing to the differences in academic performance.
