Summary:
The 17057 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Middletown Area School District, except for Londonderry Elementary which is part of the Lower Dauphin School District. While the majority of the schools struggle with academic performance, a few stand out as strong performers.
Kunkel Elementary School consistently ranks in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with exceptional PSSA test scores and a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch students. Similarly, Londonderry Elementary, which is part of the higher-performing Lower Dauphin School District, boasts strong test scores and a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch students compared to the other elementary schools in the area.
In contrast, the Middletown Area School District as a whole struggles with test performance, with most schools scoring below the state averages in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. This disparity in academic performance suggests that district-level factors may play a significant role in student outcomes, and addressing socioeconomic challenges, ensuring equitable resource allocation, and learning from high-performing schools could be key strategies for improving educational outcomes across the district.
