Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16134

Summary:

The 16134 zip code area is home to two schools - Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School and Jamestown Elementary School, both part of the Jamestown Area School District. While Jamestown Elementary stands out with significantly higher test scores, particularly in PSSA Math and Science, Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

Jamestown Elementary School's exceptional performance is evident, with 91.7% of its students scoring proficient or better in PSSA Science in 2023-2024, compared to 69.3% for the district and 65.8% statewide. In contrast, Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School has struggled, with only 12.3% of its students scoring proficient or better in PSSA Math for all grades in 2023-2024. This disparity in academic achievement between the elementary and high school is noteworthy and warrants further investigation.

The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools, especially Jamestown Elementary at 99.43%, suggests a significant level of economic disadvantage in the community, which may impact student performance and resource allocation. Additionally, the substantial difference in spending per student between the two schools ($21,474 for Jamestown Elementary vs. $14,890 for Jamestown Area Junior/Senior High School) is an area that requires further exploration to understand the factors contributing to this disparity and its potential effects on educational outcomes.
