Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16248

Summary:

The 16248 zip code has only one school, Union High School, a public high school serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 308 students. The school is part of the Union School District, which is ranked 324 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Union High School maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%, its academic performance is generally below the state averages. The school's proficiency rates on the PSSA and Keystone Exams are lower than the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels, with a few exceptions in 11th-grade literature. Additionally, over 80% of Union High School's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.

Despite the school's academic challenges, Union High School spends a relatively high amount per student ($14,719) compared to the state average, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1. These factors suggest that the school is allocating resources to support its students, but the outcomes do not yet reflect the investment. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to improve the school's performance and better support its predominantly low-income student population.
