Summary:
The 16242 zip code area is home to two schools - Redbank Valley High School and Redbank Valley Primary School, both part of the Redbank Valley School District. These schools serve a predominantly white student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by their free/reduced lunch eligibility.
Redbank Valley High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 88.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.8%, but its academic performance, particularly in math, is generally below the state average. In contrast, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are closer to or above the state average. Redbank Valley Primary School has a 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility rate, suggesting a very high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, and a higher per-student spending of $19,544 compared to the high school's $17,536.
The data highlights the unique challenges faced by the schools in the 16242 zip code area, particularly in terms of racial demographics and economic disadvantage. While the high school has a relatively high graduation rate, its academic performance, especially in math, is an area of concern. The primary school's high rate of economic disadvantage and higher per-student spending may indicate a focus on early childhood education, which could have implications for the educational pathway of students in this community.
