Summary:
The 15558 zip code area is home to two schools, Salisbury-Elk Lick Elementary School and Salisbury-Elk Lick Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Salisbury-Elk Lick School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 316 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating, the individual schools show some standout performance in specific areas.
Salisbury-Elk Lick Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance in science, with 100% of students proficient or better in PSSA science tests across all grades, significantly higher than the state average of 65.8%. The junior/senior high school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. Both schools have student-teacher ratios lower than the state average, which may contribute to their stronger performance in certain areas.
However, the data also reveals some challenges. The junior/senior high school struggles with test scores, particularly in math and Keystone Exams, lagging behind the state average. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school, suggest these schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement. The overall district ranking and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicate there is room for improvement across the Salisbury-Elk Lick School District, despite the pockets of strong performance at the individual school level.
