Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15139


Summary:

The 15139 zip code area is home to two schools - Riverview Junior/Senior High School and Tenth Street Elementary School, both part of the Riverview School District. While Riverview Junior/Senior High School has average performance, Tenth Street Elementary stands out as a high-achieving institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania.

Tenth Street Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Riverview Junior/Senior High School's PSSA and Keystone Exam proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, with some exceptions. The demographic differences between the two schools, such as a significantly lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Tenth Street Elementary, may contribute to the performance gap.

Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Riverview Junior/Senior High School, the school's academic performance lags behind its elementary counterpart. This suggests potential challenges in maintaining high achievement as students progress through the education system. The consistently strong performance of Tenth Street Elementary, however, highlights the school's ability to provide a solid educational foundation for its students, which may contribute to their continued success in later grades.
