Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16912

Summary:

The 16912 zip code in Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Blossburg Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Southern Tioga School District. With a total enrollment of 234 students, Blossburg Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer in the region, ranking between 1,070 and 1,157 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years and earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Blossburg Elementary School's proficiency rates in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts are generally below the district and state averages, with the school's strongest performance in 3rd grade Math. However, the school's proficiency rates decline in higher grade levels, particularly in Math and English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (60.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $17,602 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.3, which is lower than the state average, Blossburg Elementary School's academic performance remains below par. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the potential need for targeted interventions or instructional strategies to address the specific needs of the student population.
