Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15417


Summary:

The 15417 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to three schools that are part of the Brownsville Area School District: Brownsville Area Elementary School, Brownsville Area High School, and Brownsville Area Middle School. Unfortunately, none of these schools stand out as clear academic performers, as the district as a whole is ranked 501 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The schools in the Brownsville Area School District consistently perform well below the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 19.4% to 26.2% in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 40.4%. Similar gaps are seen in other subject areas, indicating systemic challenges within the district. Additionally, the elementary and middle schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.

While the per-student spending varies across the schools, with the high school spending the most at $19,252 per student, the overall lack of academic success across the district is concerning. The student-teacher ratios are relatively consistent, ranging from 14.2 to 15.3, but the data indicates that the Brownsville Area School District is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for the students in this area.
