Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16502


Summary:

The 16502 zip code in Pennsylvania has only one school, Strong Vincent Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. As part of the Erie City School District, this middle school has faced ongoing academic challenges, with a declining statewide ranking and consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Strong Vincent Middle School's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below state and district averages in core subjects like math, science, and English Language Arts. The school's math proficiency rates range from 10.4% to 20.8%, compared to state averages of 37.3% to 33.9%. Similarly, the school's science proficiency rate of 29.8% for 8th grade is significantly lower than the state average of 54.5%. This pattern of underperformance is reflected across grade levels and subject areas.

The school's high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a high-need student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, the school has not been able to translate this into improved learning outcomes. Overall, the data indicates that Strong Vincent Middle School is struggling to provide a quality education to its students, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's performance issues.
