Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15062


Summary:

The 15062 zip code area is home to three schools - Monessen Elementary Center, Monessen Senior High School, and Monessen Middle School - all part of the Monessen City School District. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently underperforming, with low test scores, graduation rates, and high poverty levels.

None of the three Monessen schools stand out as high-performing. All three have significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to state averages, with only 11.3% of Monessen Elementary students proficient in math versus the state average of 40.4%. Graduation rates at Monessen Senior High School are also below the state average at 87.5%. Additionally, these schools serve a high-poverty student population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 60.1% to 83.74%.

The challenges facing the Monessen City School District appear to be systemic, with little to no improvement in student outcomes over the past few years. Low per-student spending, ranging from $65 to $127, likely contributes to the resource constraints these schools face. Addressing the root causes of the district's struggles, such as lack of funding and high poverty levels, will be crucial for improving educational opportunities for students in this community.
