Summary:
The 16102 zip code area is home to three schools that span elementary, middle, and high school grades: Mohawk Elementary School, Mohawk Senior High School, and Mohawk Junior High School. These schools, part of the Mohawk Area School District, demonstrate varying levels of academic performance and resource allocation.
Mohawk Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently exceeding state and district averages on PSSA tests across all grade levels and subject areas. The school is ranked in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 4-star rating. In contrast, Mohawk Junior High School lags behind, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages, particularly in Math and Science. Mohawk Senior High School, on the other hand, performs well on Keystone Exams, with proficiency rates above 50% in all subject areas and a 4-star rating.
The data also reveals differences in student demographics and resource allocation among the schools. Mohawk Junior High School has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Additionally, Mohawk Senior High School has the highest per-student spending, but this does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes compared to Mohawk Elementary School, highlighting the importance of effective teaching practices, curriculum, and school leadership in driving student success.
