Summary:
The 15437 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Wharton School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Uniontown Area School District. Wharton School's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with the school outperforming the district and state averages in some subject areas and grade levels, but underperforming in others. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 80.61% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,184 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4, Wharton School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 750th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 883rd out of 1,526 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on PSSA tests has remained relatively consistent over the past two years, with some variations in specific grade levels and subject areas.
Without any other schools in the 15437 zip code to compare Wharton School to, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the school's performance relative to its immediate geographic area. Expanding the analysis to include schools in neighboring zip codes or the broader Uniontown Area School District could provide more context and insights into the school's strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement.
