Summary:
The 16036 zip code area is home to two schools, Allegheny-Clarion Valley Elementary School and Allegheny-Clarion Valley High School, both part of the Allegheny-Clarion Valley School District. The elementary school consistently ranks in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and outperforms state and district averages in PSSA Math, English Language Arts, and Science proficiency. The high school is ranked in the top 40% of Pennsylvania high schools and maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5%, though it lags behind in Keystone Exam proficiency for Algebra I and Biology.
Both schools have lower than average student-teacher ratios, with the elementary school at 11.3 and the high school at 8.1. The elementary school's strong performance in PSSA Science, with over 85% proficiency, is a standout metric, suggesting a focus on science education. However, the high school's lower Keystone Exam proficiency in certain subject areas is an area that could be further investigated to identify potential improvement opportunities.
The significant difference in spending per student between the elementary and high school ($6,474 more per student at the high school) is noteworthy and may warrant further analysis to understand the drivers behind this gap. Overall, the data indicates that the Allegheny-Clarion Valley School District is performing reasonably well, with the elementary school standing out as a particularly strong performer and the high school showing promise, but with room for improvement in certain academic areas.
