Summary:
The 15424 zip code area is home to two schools, Turkeyfoot Valley Area Elementary School and Turkeyfoot Valley Area Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Turkeyfoot Valley Area School District. Unfortunately, the academic performance of these schools is relatively low compared to state averages, with significantly below-average test scores in Math and ELA proficiency.
Both schools serve a student population that is predominantly white, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the low academic achievement, the junior/senior high school maintains a strong 4-year graduation rate of 94.4% and a 0.0% dropout rate. However, the Turkeyfoot Valley Area School District as a whole is ranked 512 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that the challenges faced by these schools are likely systemic within the district.
While the schools in the 15424 zip code area have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this does not seem to be translating into higher academic performance. Addressing the educational challenges in this community will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve outcomes for the students. Parents in this area may want to consider alternative educational options or work closely with the schools and district to advocate for necessary changes and support.
