Summary:

The 17006 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Blain Elementary School, which is part of the West Perry School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 338 out of 610 in Pennsylvania, Blain Elementary School has demonstrated stronger academic performance, ranking 607 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2021-2022 with a 3-star rating.

Blain Elementary School's proficiency rates on the PSSA exams exceed the district and state averages in math (53.1% vs. 36.8% and 40.4%), science (75% vs. 65.4% and 65.8%), and English Language Arts (56.2% vs. 50.2% and 53%). The school's per-student spending of $14,089 is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is relatively low, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.

However, the school does face some challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students (60.46%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may require the school and district to allocate additional resources and support to ensure continued student success.
