Best Public Schools in Zip Code 18466

Summary:

The 18466 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Clear Run Intermediate School and Clear Run Elementary Center - both part of the Pocono Mountain School District. These schools have consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Both Clear Run Intermediate School and Clear Run Elementary Center struggle with low proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts, with only around one-third of students meeting or exceeding state standards in these subjects. Additionally, the schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 70% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools have failed to show significant improvement in their academic performance over the past decade.

The persistent challenges faced by these schools suggest a need for more comprehensive and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and provide quality education to the students in the 18466 zip code area. Factors such as curriculum, teaching quality, and other systemic factors may be contributing to the schools' struggles, and a holistic approach is likely required to drive meaningful and sustainable improvements.
