Summary:
The 16933 zip code area is home to two schools, Warren L Miller Elementary School and North Penn-Mansfield Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Southern Tioga School District. While the high school performs better academically, the elementary school consistently ranks in the bottom third of Pennsylvania schools, with low proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts.
Warren L Miller Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of white students (93.43%) and low-income student population, with 60.04% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges. In contrast, the high school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 86.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.5%, suggesting a more successful transition from elementary to secondary education.
Across both schools, there is a lack of racial diversity, with over 90% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than the state average. This homogeneity may impact the educational experiences and opportunities for students. Addressing the systemic issues at the elementary level, as well as the transition challenges between the two schools, could lead to improved academic outcomes for the students in this community.
