Summary:
The 15132 zip code area of McKeesport, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the McKeesport Area School District, except for two charter schools.
The standout schools in this area are the two charter schools, Propel Cs-McKeesport and Young Scholars of Greater Allegheny Charter School, which consistently outperform the district and state averages on academic measures like test scores and graduation rates, despite serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. In contrast, the traditional public schools in the district, such as McKeesport Area Senior High School, Founders Hall Middle School, and Twin Rivers Elementary School, struggle academically, with low test scores and rankings compared to the state.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (100% at most schools) suggests a high level of economic disadvantage in the community, and the district as a whole is ranked very low (538 out of 606) in the state, indicating significant challenges that the schools and community face. However, the data also highlights the potential for charter schools to provide better educational outcomes for students in this area.
