Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15437

Summary:

The 15437 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Wharton School, which serves students within the Uniontown Area School District. Wharton School stands out for its strong academic performance, with PSSA scores that exceed the district and state averages in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. However, the school also faces challenges, with a high percentage of students (80.61%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need among the student population.

Wharton School's student enrollment is 165, with a predominantly White student body (93.33%). The school's student-teacher ratio is 15.4 to 1, and it spends $18,184 per student. While Wharton School's academic performance is commendable, the broader context of the Uniontown Area School District, which is ranked 378 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggests that the district may face broader challenges that could impact the performance of individual schools like Wharton.

Overall, Wharton School appears to be a strong performer within its district, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the broader challenges facing the Uniontown Area School District are important factors to consider. Monitoring the school's performance and trends over time will be crucial in understanding the long-term trajectory of education in this area.
