Summary:
The 15320 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Carmichaels Area School District: Carmichaels Area Elementary Center, Carmichaels Area High School, and Carmichaels Area Middle School. While the high school is a standout performer, the elementary and middle schools in the district struggle to meet state averages, particularly in Math.
Carmichaels Area High School ranks 151 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5%. However, the district as a whole is ranked 456 out of 610 districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other districts. The significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the schools may suggest socioeconomic factors impacting student performance.
The data also reveals notable disparities in spending per student, with Carmichaels Area Middle School having the highest spending at $33,826 per student, yet performing significantly below the state average in Math. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocation within the district, and the need for targeted interventions and improvements, particularly at the middle school level.
