Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15005


Summary:

The 15005 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools: Baden Academy Charter School and State Street Elementary School. While both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, State Street Elementary School appears to be the stronger performer academically, despite having lower spending per student compared to Baden Academy Charter School.

Baden Academy Charter School has a relatively high percentage of minority students, with 25.94% African American and 16.55% two or more races. Its test scores are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, and the school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school has a relatively high spending per student at $16,715. In contrast, State Street Elementary School has a higher percentage of white students at 66.91%, and its test scores are generally better than the district and state averages, particularly in Science and English Language Arts. The school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a lower spending per student at $10,054.

The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools raises questions about the allocation of resources and how it may impact student outcomes. Additionally, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools suggests a relatively low-income student population in the 15005 zip code area, which may be a contributing factor to the lower test scores observed, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with academic performance.
