Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17102

Summary:

The 17102 zip code in Pennsylvania has only one school, the Pennsylvania STEAM Academy Charter School, which serves elementary students in grades K-4. This small public charter school has faced some academic challenges, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally lower than the statewide averages, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.

The school's district rank is 510 out of 610 in Pennsylvania, and it is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 1209 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools, also receiving a 1-star rating. With a high percentage (69.43%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a factor in its academic performance.

Despite relatively high spending of $16,570 per student, the Pennsylvania STEAM Academy Charter School's academic outcomes have not yet met statewide standards. The school's small size of 193 students may also present challenges in providing a well-rounded educational experience. Overall, the data suggests the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and student outcomes to better serve the needs of its community.
