Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15681

Summary:

The 15681 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Saltsburg Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the River Valley School District. With a total enrollment of 291 students, Saltsburg Elementary consistently outperforms both district and state averages on standardized tests, earning it a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking in the top 208 elementary schools in Pennsylvania.

Saltsburg Elementary's academic excellence is particularly noteworthy given that 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a predominantly low-income population. Despite this, the school boasts proficiency rates of 73.5% in Math, 90.5% in Science, and 70.8% in English Language Arts, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. The school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.3, likely contribute to its ability to provide individualized attention and support to its students.

While the school's student population is predominantly White (93.81%), the high per-student spending of $30,727 suggests the school has access to significant resources that are being effectively utilized to support student learning and development. However, the lack of demographic diversity at Saltsburg Elementary is a potential area of concern that warrants further investigation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the community.
