Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16630

Summary:

The 16630 zip code area is home to 2 schools, including Penn Cambria High School and Penn Cambria Pre-Primary, which are part of the Penn Cambria School District. Penn Cambria High School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Pennsylvania and boasting strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates on Keystone Exams.

While Penn Cambria High School excels academically, there are some potential equity concerns within the district. Penn Cambria Pre-Primary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the high school, which may indicate socioeconomic disparities. However, the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary school level could suggest a focus on early childhood education and addressing these potential equity issues.

The data also reveals interesting insights into the district's resource allocation strategies. The higher per-student spending at Penn Cambria Pre-Primary compared to the high school may reflect the district's prioritization of early childhood education and the additional resources required for younger students. The lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary school level could contribute to more personalized attention and support for students during their formative years.
