Summary:
The 15145 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Turtle Creek Elementary STEAM Academy, a public school, and Propel Cs-East, a public charter school. While both schools serve students in the same geographic area, their academic performance and overall ratings differ significantly.
Turtle Creek Elementary STEAM Academy struggles with proficiency rates in math and English language arts that are well below the state averages, particularly in the lower grades. However, the school performs relatively better in 4th-grade science, with a 70.9% proficiency rate compared to the state average of 77.1%. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (100%) suggests it may be facing challenges in supporting a high-need student population. In contrast, Propel Cs-East has a lower overall proficiency rate compared to the state, but its performance in English language arts is relatively stronger, with proficiency rates above 45% in the upper grades.
Both schools have relatively low ratings from SchoolDigger, with Turtle Creek Elementary STEAM Academy and Propel Cs-East receiving 1-2 stars out of 5. The Woodland Hills School District, which Turtle Creek Elementary STEAM Academy is a part of, is also rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district as a whole may need to focus on improving overall academic performance and student outcomes.
