Summary:

The 16866 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Philipsburg-Osceola Area High School, Philipsburg Elementary School, and Philipsburg-Osceola Area Middle School, all part of the Philipsburg-Osceola Area School District. The data reveals Philipsburg Elementary as the standout school, consistently ranking in the top half of Pennsylvania elementary schools with strong test scores, particularly in math and science. In contrast, the middle school struggles with math proficiency compared to state averages.

Across the district, graduation rates are solid, with Philipsburg-Osceola Area High School reporting an 87.5% four-year graduation rate. Dropout rates are low at both the high school and middle school. However, Keystone Exam results at the high school level are mixed, with students performing well in Literature but lagging in Algebra I. The schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by free/reduced lunch rates exceeding 50% at the elementary and middle schools.

While the district as a whole is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement, the data highlights the strengths of Philipsburg Elementary and the areas needing attention, particularly at the middle school level. The relatively low student-teacher ratios across the schools are a positive, but the disparities in per-student spending between the high school and elementary school warrant further investigation into resource allocation.
