Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15646

Summary:

The 15646 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Donegal Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten to 4th grade. As the only school in the area, Donegal Elementary stands out, though its academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages.

Donegal Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage (39.45%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The school's PSSA Math and ELA proficiency rates are slightly lower than the Mount Pleasant Area School District and state averages, but its PSSA Science proficiency rate is notably higher. With a relatively small student body of 109 and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.4, Donegal Elementary may have opportunities for more personalized attention and support.

Despite its strengths, Donegal Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools, suggesting a need for the school and district to identify and address the factors contributing to this low performance. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the consistently low performance in math and ELA indicate that the school may require targeted interventions and additional resources to help its students succeed.
