Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17111


Summary:

The 17111 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 alternative school, Reach Cyber Charter School. While the schools serve diverse student populations, with varying racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools.

Two standout schools in the area are Rutherford Elementary School and Lawnton Elementary School. Rutherford Elementary ranks among the top 796 elementary schools in Pennsylvania and outperforms the Central Dauphin School District and state averages in math, science, and English language arts proficiency. Lawnton Elementary, with its high percentage of Asian students, also achieves strong science proficiency and outperforms the district and state in English language arts.

In contrast, the other elementary schools in the 17111 zip code area generally underperform the district and state averages in math and English language arts, with the exception of Rutherford and Lawnton. Additionally, the alternative school, Reach Cyber Charter School, has significantly lower proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to the state averages, though its science proficiency and graduation rates are relatively strong. The high poverty levels, with all elementary schools having over 99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by these schools.
