Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17976


Summary:

The 17976 zip code area is home to two schools - Shenandoah Valley Elementary School and Shenandoah Valley Junior/Senior High School - both part of the Shenandoah Valley School District. Unfortunately, these schools do not stand out for positive reasons, as they both have relatively low performance metrics compared to state averages.

At the elementary school, only 12-31% of students are proficient in math, and 20.5-42.1% are proficient in ELA, well below state standards. The high school fares even worse, with math proficiency rates ranging from just 6-7.1% and ELA proficiency at 22.2-35.8%. Both schools have a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, placing them in the bottom tier of Pennsylvania schools. This is likely driven in part by the extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage in the community.

Despite high per-student spending of over $15,000, the schools are struggling to improve academic outcomes. This suggests deeper systemic challenges within the district that need to be addressed through targeted interventions and support. Improving the educational opportunities and outcomes for students in this area will require a concerted effort to address the socioeconomic factors, enhance instructional quality, and provide additional resources and programs to help these schools and their students succeed.
