Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16301

Summary:

The 16301 zip code area in Oil City, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Oil City Area School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of economic disadvantage, one elementary school, Hasson Heights School, stands out for its exceptional academic performance on state assessments.

Hasson Heights School boasts the highest PSSA test scores in Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the other schools in the district and the state averages. This elementary school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, the middle and high schools in the district struggle to meet state proficiency standards, suggesting a need to investigate the factors driving the performance gap between the elementary and secondary levels.

Despite the strong performance of Hasson Heights, the broader community faces significant economic challenges, with all the elementary and middle schools reporting 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage likely impacts student learning and achievement across the district. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to resources and support could be crucial in helping all students in the 16301 zip code area reach their full potential.
