Summary:
The 17566 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Solanco School District. The data reveals that the elementary schools, particularly Clermont Elementary School and Quarryville Elementary School, outperform the middle and high schools on PSSA proficiency rates, suggesting they may be doing a better job of preparing students for academic success.
The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, with racial diversity being an area for potential improvement. Additionally, a significant percentage of students (ranging from 35.25% to 47.72%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the schools serve a population with economic challenges, which could be a factor in their academic performance. The variation in spending per student, from $15,532 at Clermont Elementary to $19,183 at Swift Middle School, suggests the district may need to examine its resource allocation to ensure equitable funding across schools.
Overall, the data provides a comprehensive overview of the schools in the 17566 zip code, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. The district may want to further investigate the factors contributing to the academic performance differences between the elementary and middle/high schools, as well as explore ways to address the socioeconomic and racial diversity challenges faced by these schools.
