Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16255

Summary:

The 16255 zip code area has only one school, Sligo Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade and is part of the Union School District. While the school excels in science proficiency, its performance in math and English language arts is below the state average, and it has been ranked in the bottom third of Pennsylvania elementary schools for the past three years with a 2-star rating.

Sligo Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students (99.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school district spends $12,373 per student, which is above the state average, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning.

While Sligo Elementary School's science proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state average, its math and English language arts proficiency rates are below the state average. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its core academic areas to better align with district and state standards. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's academic challenges could lead to better outcomes for its students.
