Summary:

The 16630 zip code area is home to two schools - Penn Cambria High School and Penn Cambria Pre-Primary, both part of the Penn Cambria School District. Penn Cambria High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 93rd out of 674 high schools in Pennsylvania and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts strong academic results, with 11th-grade students exceeding state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature proficiency. Additionally, Penn Cambria High School maintains an impressive 92.2% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.7% dropout rate.

In contrast, the data for Penn Cambria Pre-Primary does not provide as much detail on academic performance and rankings. However, it does show that the school has a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch at 51.09%, compared to 28.4% at the high school. This suggests potential socioeconomic differences between the elementary and high school populations, which could be an area for further investigation. Interestingly, Penn Cambria Pre-Primary spends more per student ($17,762) than the high school ($15,755), and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.9 compared to 14.7 at the high school.

Overall, the data paints a picture of a school district with a strong high school performance, but potentially some disparities in resources and support between the elementary and secondary levels. The higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary school level could indicate a strategic focus on providing more individualized attention in the early years of education. Further analysis could explore the underlying factors and trends that contribute to these differences across the district.
