Summary:
The 15486 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Franklin School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Uniontown Area School District. While Franklin School excels in science proficiency, its performance in math and English Language Arts is more mixed compared to district and state averages. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 93.15% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and has a relatively low per-student spending of $17,089.
Franklin School's standout performance is in science, where 100% of students across all grades are proficient or better on the PSSA assessment, significantly higher than both district and state averages. However, the school's math proficiency is below the state average, though still above the district average, and its English Language Arts proficiency is above the district but below the state average. This suggests the school may have room for improvement in these core academic areas.
The high concentration of low-income students and relatively low per-student spending may be contributing factors to the school's uneven academic performance. Despite these challenges, Franklin School maintains a student-teacher ratio of 14.9, which is slightly lower than the typical recommended ratio, potentially providing students with more individualized attention. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and resources to address the school's areas of concern and support student success.
