The 15063 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Ringgold School District, except for William Penn Elementary School, which is part of the Elizabeth Forward School District.
Among the schools in this area, William Penn Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking 545 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the Ringgold schools, including Ringgold Senior High School, Ringgold Middle School, and Ringgold Elementary School South, appear to be underperforming compared to state averages across various metrics, with 2-star or 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger and rankings in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide.
The data reveals stark performance differences between William Penn Elementary and the Ringgold schools, with William Penn outperforming the Ringgold schools and the state averages in areas such as test scores, graduation rates, and economic indicators. This raises questions about equity and access to quality education, as the Ringgold schools serve student populations with higher levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by their high free/reduced lunch rates. The data also suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a significant role in student success.
