Summary:
The 16504 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools serving elementary and middle school students: Woodrow Wilson Middle School, Jefferson Elementary School, and Lincoln Elementary School. While the schools face challenges common to economically disadvantaged areas, with all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, one school stands out as a bright spot in the district.
Lincoln Elementary School outperforms the Erie City School District and state averages in math, science, and English language arts proficiency across all grade levels. With an impressive 47.2% proficiency rate in 4th grade science, Lincoln Elementary significantly outpaces the district (39.7%) and state (74.1%) averages. In contrast, the other two schools struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below state standards, highlighting significant achievement gaps within the district.
Despite the overall low performance, there are some bright spots, such as Jefferson Elementary School's 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 17%, which is higher than the district (19.6%) and state (51.7%) averages. The high rates of economic disadvantage across all three schools suggest that targeted interventions and support are needed to address the underlying challenges and drive sustainable improvement for the students in this community.
