Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15714


Summary:

The 15714 zip code area is home to three schools - Northern Cambria High School, Northern Cambria Elementary School, and Northern Cambria Middle School - all part of the Northern Cambria School District. While the high school has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, the elementary and middle schools face more mixed challenges, with some areas of strength but also underperformance compared to state averages.

Northern Cambria High School stands out as a strong performer, having moved from 426th to 202nd out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools in the state rankings and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%, and it outperforms the district and state averages in Keystone Exam Literature performance, with 76.2% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better.

In contrast, while Northern Cambria Elementary School and Northern Cambria Middle School have some areas of strength, such as the elementary school's high performance on the PSSA Science exam, they also face challenges, with both schools serving a 100% free and reduced-price lunch student population, indicating a high-need student population. The district's consistent per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios suggest that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing the varying academic outcomes across the schools.
