Summary:
The 16346 zip code area is home to two schools, Cranberry Elementary School and Cranberry Area Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Cranberry Area School District. These schools demonstrate relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates that often exceed district and state averages.
Cranberry Elementary School is ranked 852 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state in PSSA Math, English Language Arts, and Science proficiency. Meanwhile, Cranberry Area Junior/Senior High School is ranked 238 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and has a 3-star rating. The high school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.5% and low dropout rate of 0.5%, while also outperforming the district and state in Keystone Exam proficiency.
Both schools serve a predominantly white student population and have a significant proportion of students from low-income families, as indicated by their free/reduced lunch rates. While the schools are performing well overall, there are some areas where proficiency rates could be improved, such as PSSA Math at the elementary level and Keystone Exam Algebra I at the high school level. The difference in per-student spending between the two schools may also suggest a need to examine resource allocation and ensure equitable distribution across the district.
