Summary:
The 15062 zip code area in Monessen, Pennsylvania is home to three public schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the Monessen City School District. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be struggling academically, with consistently low proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to state averages, particularly in math.
The student demographics across the three schools are diverse, with a mix of African American, White, and multi-racial students. However, the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with 60-84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge likely contributes to the academic difficulties faced by the schools. Additionally, the district appears to have limited resources, as evidenced by the relatively low spending per student and small class sizes.
Among the three schools, Monessen Elementary Center has the most diverse student body but also the lowest proficiency rates, ranging from just 4.3% to 27% across different subjects and grade levels. Monessen Senior High School and Monessen Middle School also struggle, with proficiency rates well below state averages and high school dropout rates that are concerning. Overall, the data suggests a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to address the systemic challenges facing the schools in the 15062 zip code area.
