Summary:

The 17881 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Line Mountain Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Line Mountain School District, which is ranked 196 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Line Mountain Elementary School stands out for its exceptional science proficiency, with an overall rate of 81% and a 4th-grade rate of 81%, significantly higher than the state average. The school's math and ELA proficiency rates are also above the district average, though slightly lower than the state average. However, the school's demographic makeup is predominantly White, with very low percentages of minority students, which may be an area for the district to consider addressing.

The school's per-student spending of $17,548 is relatively high compared to the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, suggesting its performance may be variable or inconsistent. Overall, Line Mountain Elementary School offers a strong science education, but the district may need to focus on improving the school's math and ELA proficiency, as well as addressing the lack of diversity in the student population.
