Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15066

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 high school stands out as a relatively strong performer, the elementary and middle schools face more significant academic challenges, particularly in meeting state proficiency levels on standardized tests.

New Brighton Area High School is the top-performing school in the area, ranking 307 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 93.8% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.7% dropout rate, along with strong performance on Keystone Exams, exceeding state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. In contrast, New Brighton Area Elementary School has shown significant improvement, moving from the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools to the middle half, with higher PSSA proficiency rates in Science and English Language Arts compared to the district and state.

A common challenge across all three schools is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.94% at the high school to 100% at the elementary and middle schools, indicating significant economic challenges in the community. Additionally, while the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, the middle and elementary schools struggle to meet state proficiency levels in PSSA tests, particularly in Mathematics, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and curriculum alignment to address these academic gaps.
