The 15314 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Bentworth School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this area demonstrate a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with some standout performance and concerning trends.
Bentworth Elementary Center stands out with its relatively high PSSA test scores, particularly in 3rd grade ELA and 4th grade Science. However, the school also has an extremely high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 99.21%, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. In contrast, Bentworth Middle School boasts impressive PSSA ELA performance, with 65.4% of students proficient or better across all grades, and an even higher 73.4% proficiency rate in 8th grade ELA.
At the high school level, Bentworth Senior High School stands out with a solid 4-year graduation rate of 93.9% and relatively strong Keystone Exam performance, particularly in Literature and Biology. However, the school's overall performance has declined over the years, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating on the SchoolDigger rankings. This raises concerns and suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the declining outcomes at the high school level.
