Summary:
The 15459 zip code area is home to two schools - A J McMullen School, a middle school, and Marclay School, an elementary school. While both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Marclay School stands out with exceptional academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Science.
Marclay School's proficiency rates in these subjects exceed both the district and state averages across multiple grade levels, indicating a strong focus on academic achievement. In contrast, A J McMullen School has lower proficiency rates, though it still performs better than the district average. The higher spending per student at Marclay School compared to A J McMullen School may be a contributing factor to the school's stronger academic performance.
The Uniontown Area School District, which both schools belong to, is ranked 378 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district as a whole may face challenges in providing high-quality education to its students. However, Marclay School's exceptional performance indicates that with the right resources and focus, schools in this area can achieve academic excellence.
