Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16729

Summary:

The 16729 zip code is home to a single public high school, Otto-Eldred Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 280 students. This predominantly white school has a strong academic performance, outpacing the state averages on PSSA assessments in Math, Science, and ELA. However, the school's student population lacks diversity, with over 97% of students identifying as white, and a significant portion (39.64%) coming from low-income households and receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Otto-Eldred Junior/Senior High School's academic excellence is evident in its impressive PSSA proficiency rates, which are notably higher than the state averages. The school's 7th grade math proficiency rate of 57.9% and 8th grade science proficiency rate of 70% are particularly standout achievements. Additionally, the school boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, indicating a high level of student success. The school's spending per student of $21,305 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.6 suggest a well-resourced learning environment.

While the school's overall academic performance is strong, there are a few areas where it could potentially improve. The school's Keystone Algebra I proficiency rate of 33.3% is slightly lower than the state average, and its Keystone Literature proficiency rate of 52% is also lower than the state's 65.3%. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student population may limit students' exposure to different cultures and perspectives. The Otto-Eldred School District may want to consider strategies to address these areas and continue to provide a well-rounded education for all students in the 16729 zip code.
