Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15924


Summary:

The 15924 zip code area is home to two schools - Cairnbrook Elementary School and Shade Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Shade-Central City School District. While the high school appears to be a relatively strong performer, the elementary school lags behind state and district averages on key metrics.

Shade Junior/Senior High School stands out as the stronger of the two, with a higher statewide ranking and better proficiency rates on standardized tests. In contrast, Cairnbrook Elementary School has lower test scores and serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Both schools have small enrollments of around 165 students and similar per-student spending levels, suggesting the district is investing significant resources. However, the stark contrast in performance between the elementary and high school indicates a need to further analyze the factors driving these differences and develop strategies to support the lower-performing Cairnbrook Elementary School in improving student outcomes.
