Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15202

Summary:

The 15202 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle/high school - all part of the Northgate School District. While the elementary schools, Bellevue Elementary and Avalon Elementary, demonstrate strong academic performance, the Northgate Middle/High School has struggled with inconsistent statewide rankings and below-average proficiency rates on state assessments.

Bellevue Elementary and Avalon Elementary stand out as high-performing schools, with both outperforming district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Bellevue Elementary, in particular, boasts an impressive 80% proficiency rate in PSSA Science across all grades. However, these elementary schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

In contrast, Northgate Middle/High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 157th out of 634 schools in 2021-2022 to 516th out of 674 schools in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance is generally below state averages, with particularly low proficiency rates in Keystone Exams for Algebra I (7.9%) and Literature (50.9%). This stark contrast in performance between the elementary and middle/high school levels suggests potential issues with curriculum alignment and the transition between school levels within the Northgate School District.
