Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17271

Summary:

The 17271 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Fannett-Metal School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Fannett-Metal Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, the district as a whole appears to be struggling, with the middle and high schools underperforming state benchmarks.

Fannett-Metal Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 452 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms district and state averages on PSSA tests across all grade levels, despite having a very high percentage of students (95.98%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, the Fannett-Metal Senior High School and Fannett-Metal Middle School both have 2-star ratings and lower proficiency rates on Keystone Exams.

The data suggests that the Fannett-Metal School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, with the elementary school being a relative bright spot. Addressing the district's performance issues, particularly at the middle and high school levels, and supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, should be key priorities. The small student enrollments, especially at the middle and high school levels, could also be a contributing factor to the district's struggles.
