Summary:
The 16948 zip code area is home to two schools - Northern Potter Children's School (an elementary school) and Northern Potter Junior/Senior High School. Both schools are part of the Northern Potter School District and serve a predominantly white, low-income student population. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are underperforming compared to state averages on a variety of academic measures.
The elementary school is ranked 912 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, while the high school is ranked 505 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools struggle with low proficiency rates on standardized tests, particularly in Keystone Algebra I, where the high school reported a 0% proficiency rate for 11th graders. The high school's graduation rate of 91.8% is slightly below the state average, though its dropout rate of 0.9% is lower than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors also play a significant role, with both schools serving a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.18% at the elementary school and 52.34% at the high school). This suggests that the schools face additional challenges in terms of resource allocation and supporting the educational needs of their low-income student population. Additionally, the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in these schools may limit the exposure of students to diverse perspectives and experiences.
