Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15637

Summary:

The 15637 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, H W Good Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Yough School District. This school consistently outperforms both district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the top half of Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

H W Good Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its PSSA test scores, which are significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For instance, in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (61.1%), Science (84.5%), and English Language Arts (66.7%) were all well above the state benchmarks. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 likely contributes to its strong academic performance.

Despite the fact that over half of the school's students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, H W Good Elementary School continues to excel. This suggests the school is effectively supporting students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds and providing a high-quality education to all its students. While the school's overall performance is impressive, there may be opportunities to further improve in certain areas, such as the Math proficiency rates for 4th-grade students, which are slightly lower than the district average.
