Best Public Schools in Prospect Park, PA


Summary:

The city of Prospect Park, Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools (Prospect Park School and Kindergarten Academy) and 1 high school (Interboro Senior High School). The data reveals a mix of performance, with Prospect Park School standing out as the stronger-performing elementary school, while Interboro Senior High School has shown fluctuating results.

Prospect Park School has consistently maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperformed the district and state averages on PSSA Math, English Language Arts, and Science tests. In contrast, Interboro Senior High School has a 2-star rating and has seen its ranking vary, with below-average Keystone Exam scores in Algebra I and Biology, but above-average performance in Literature.

Across all three schools, the high free/reduced lunch rates, over 50%, indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, especially at Kindergarten Academy, suggest the schools are able to provide more individualized attention to students, which could be a contributing factor to their academic performance. The consistent spending per student across the schools implies that funding levels are not the primary driver of performance differences, and other factors such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership may play a more significant role.
