Summary:
The 16301 zip code area of Oil City, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Oil City Area School District. The data reveals that the elementary schools, particularly Hasson Heights School and Seventh Street School, are the standout performers in the district based on strong test scores in Math, Science, and English Language Arts that exceed district and state averages.
In contrast, the Oil City Senior High School had more mixed results, with Keystone Exam scores slightly below state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. However, the high school did have a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% in 2022-2023. The Oil City Area Middle School also performed well, with low dropout rates.
A notable challenge across the district is the high poverty levels, with all elementary and middle schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Spending per student varies, from around $14,000 at the middle school to over $18,000 at the smallest elementary school, Smedley Street School. Overall, the data suggests the district has pockets of strong academic performance, particularly at the elementary level, but also faces significant socioeconomic challenges that impact student outcomes.
