Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17109


Summary:

The 17109 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 10 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across two school districts - Central Dauphin School District and Susquehanna Township School District. While the schools in this area share a geographic location, the data reveals stark differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.

Two standout schools in the 17109 zip code are Infinity Charter School, a public charter school serving grades K-8 that consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania, and Central Dauphin Middle School, which has been in the top 25% of Pennsylvania middle schools for the past three years. These schools demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state and district averages.

In contrast, other schools in the area, such as Central Dauphin East Middle School and North Side Elementary School, have significantly lower proficiency rates, which appear to be correlated with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the disparities observed in academic achievement across the schools in the 17109 zip code area.
