Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17851


Summary:

The 17851 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Mount Carmel Area School District: Mount Carmel Area Elementary School, Mount Carmel Area High School, and Mount Carmel Area Junior High School. The district as a whole is ranked 460 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the high school is performing relatively well, with a high graduation rate and low dropout rate, the elementary and junior high schools are struggling academically, particularly in math. The elementary school has significantly lower proficiency rates in PSSA Math compared to the state average, and the junior high school has higher proficiency in English Language Arts than in math and science. Across all three schools, the student population comes from a predominantly low-income community, with very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

Overall, the Mount Carmel Area School District faces significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its students, particularly in the area of math proficiency. Addressing these deficiencies while leveraging the district's strengths, such as the high school's graduation and dropout rates, will be crucial for enhancing the educational experience and opportunities for students in this community.
