Summary:
The 15066 zip code area is home to three schools - New Brighton Area Elementary School, New Brighton Area High School, and New Brighton Area Middle School - all part of the New Brighton Area School District. While the schools show some areas of strength, they also face challenges, particularly in math proficiency and serving economically disadvantaged student populations.
The elementary school stands out with the highest enrollment and relatively strong performance on 4th grade science tests, though its math proficiency lags behind state averages. The high school impresses with a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, but has mixed results on Keystone Exams. In contrast, the middle school struggles with below-average PSSA scores, especially in 7th grade math. Across the schools, the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates suggest significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic performance.
Despite the variations in school performance, the data reveals opportunities for the district to learn from the elementary school's practices and apply them to improve outcomes at the middle school level. Additionally, further analysis of resource allocation and staffing differences between the schools may provide insights to address the identified challenges and support student success throughout the 15066 zip code area.
