Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17042

Summary:

The 17042 zip code area is home to 10 schools across three different school districts: Cornwall-Lebanon School District, Lebanon School District, and Annville-Cleona School District. The schools include 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools, with no alternative schools in the area.

The data reveals significant disparities in school performance within the 17042 zip code. South Lebanon Elementary School and Cornwall Elementary School, both in the Cornwall-Lebanon School District, stand out as the highest-performing schools with over 50% proficiency on PSSA tests across all grades. In contrast, Lebanon Senior High School, in the Lebanon School District, is the lowest-performing high school, ranking in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania high schools.

The data also suggests a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Harding Elementary, Southeast Elementary, and Southwest Elementary, all in the Lebanon School District, also have the lowest test scores and performance. This suggests that the socioeconomic status of the student population is a key factor in the disparities observed across the schools in the 17042 zip code area.
