Summary:
The 16159 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the West Middlesex Area School District. The data reveals that the elementary and middle schools in this area are standout performers, with Luther W Low Elementary and Oakview Elementary excelling in academic achievement, particularly in math and science. However, the West Middlesex Area Junior/Senior High School lags behind in math proficiency compared to the lower grades.
The elementary and middle schools in the 16159 zip code boast impressive academic outcomes, with Luther W Low Elementary and Oakview Elementary outperforming both district and state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts. Oakview Elementary stands out for its exceptional science performance, with 82.6% of students proficient or better. Both elementary schools maintain a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which may contribute to their strong academic results. However, these schools also serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with around 50% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the high school in the 16159 zip code has a remarkable 96.6% four-year graduation rate and a very low dropout rate of 0.2%, its academic performance, particularly in math, falls behind the elementary and middle schools. This suggests a potential need to investigate the factors contributing to the performance gap between the lower and upper grades. The consistent low student-teacher ratios across all three schools, ranging from 10:1 to 11.2:1, may be a positive factor in the overall educational landscape of this area.
