Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15344


Summary:

The 15344 zip code is home to two schools, Jefferson-Morgan Elementary School and Jefferson-Morgan Middle School/High School, both part of the Jefferson-Morgan School District. While the elementary school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, the middle/high school's performance has been more mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average.

The elementary school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 54.44%, and its PSSA proficiency rates range from 25.5% to 79.1% across different grade levels and subjects, generally below the state average. In contrast, the middle/high school has a lower percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients at 43.56%, and its PSSA and Keystone Exam proficiency rates range from 27.9% to 59.4%, with a mix of above and below-average performance.

Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Pennsylvania over the past 3 school years, indicating they are underperforming compared to other schools in the state. The higher spending per student at the elementary school ($18,466) compared to the middle/high school ($17,617) may be an attempt to address the needs of the more economically disadvantaged student population, but the combination of low statewide rankings, mixed academic performance, and higher rates of economic disadvantage suggests that the Jefferson-Morgan School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
