Summary:
The 15338 zip code is home to a single public high school, Mapletown Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and has a total enrollment of 250 students. While the school's academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages, it stands out for its highly homogeneous student population, with 99.2% of students identifying as White.
Mapletown Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is variable, with some areas, such as PSSA Science and Keystone Algebra I, performing better than the state average, while others, like PSSA Math and PSSA ELA, fall below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 86.6% and a low dropout rate of 0.8% suggest that the school is generally successful in supporting its students. However, the school's Keystone Literature proficiency rate of 62.8% is lower than the state average of 65.3%, indicating a potential area for improvement.
The school's higher-than-average spending per student ($24,255) and lower student-teacher ratio (9.5) suggest that resources are being allocated to support the educational needs of the students. Yet, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes, particularly in the areas of PSSA Math and PSSA ELA. The school may benefit from exploring strategies to increase diversity and provide a more inclusive learning environment for its students, as well as targeted interventions to address the specific academic challenges faced by the school.
