Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17740

Summary:

The 17740 zip code area is home to 5 schools in the Jersey Shore Area School District, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a community with a relatively high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in this area is Avis Elementary School, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages on PSSA test scores across all grade levels and subjects. With a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Avis ranks in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. In contrast, Salladasburg Elementary School shows strong performance in Science but lags behind Avis in overall academic achievement, earning a 3-star rating.

The high school, Jersey Shore Area Senior High School, has a graduation rate slightly below the state average, while the middle school, Jersey Shore Middle School, boasts an impressive 0% dropout rate. However, the high school's Keystone Exam results, particularly in Algebra I, are an area of concern, with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state. These findings suggest opportunities for the district to align curriculum and share best practices across grade levels to improve student outcomes.
