Summary:
The 16915 zip code area is home to two schools, both part of the Coudersport Area School District: Coudersport Area Elementary School and Coudersport Area Junior/Senior High School. The data suggests that the elementary school is the standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in most academic areas.
Coudersport Area Elementary School has higher proficiency rates in PSSA subjects like math, science, and English language arts compared to the junior/senior high school. It also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.9, compared to 10.7 at the junior/senior high school. Additionally, the elementary school spends more per student ($16,253) than the junior/senior high school ($17,309), which is an unexpected finding.
In contrast, the junior/senior high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 183 out of 674 schools in 2022-2023 to 403 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024. This could be an area of concern that warrants further investigation. The junior/senior high school also has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (35.64%) compared to the elementary school (50.18%), which may indicate socioeconomic differences between the student populations.
