Summary:
The 17267 zip code area is home to two schools, Southern Fulton Elementary School and Southern Fulton Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Southern Fulton School District. While the elementary school shows strong performance in PSSA Science, the junior/senior high school stands out for its high proficiency rates on Keystone Exams, particularly in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.
The elementary school boasts impressive PSSA English Language Arts proficiency at 58.1%, exceeding the state average. In contrast, the junior/senior high school lags behind the state in Math and English Language Arts on both the PSSA and Keystone Exams, despite spending more per student ($22,109) compared to the elementary school ($17,118). The district may want to explore strategies to address these performance gaps and provide additional support for its economically disadvantaged student population, which makes up a significant portion of the enrollment at both schools.
Overall, the schools in the 17267 zip code area present a mixed picture, with the elementary school demonstrating strengths in PSSA Science and English Language Arts, while the junior/senior high school excels on Keystone Exams but struggles in other areas. Continued focus on addressing the needs of the student population and implementing targeted interventions could help the district build on its strengths and improve academic outcomes across all grade levels.
