Summary:
The 15074 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Rochester Area Elementary School, Rochester High School, and Rochester Middle School, all part of the Rochester Area School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 371 out of 610 in Pennsylvania, the elementary school stands out as the strongest performer, with relatively high proficiency rates in PSSA assessments and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating it is effectively serving a high-need student population.
Rochester High School also has positive indicators, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. However, its performance on Keystone Exams is mixed, with lower proficiency rates in some subject areas compared to the district and state. In contrast, Rochester Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, with lower proficiency rates in PSSA assessments compared to the district and state averages, suggesting an area for improvement within the district.
The significant differences in spending per student across the three schools, ranging from $17,960 at the elementary school to $28,509 at the middle school, suggest the district may be allocating resources unevenly. Further analysis would be needed to understand the reasons behind these disparities and whether they are justified based on the unique needs of each school. Overall, the data provides a comprehensive overview of the schools in the 15074 zip code area, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement within the Rochester Area School District.
