Summary:
The 18080 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Northern Lehigh School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Among the standout schools in this area is Slatington Elementary School, which outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA Math and Science proficiency despite having the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 100%. In contrast, Northern Lehigh Middle School struggles with PSSA Math proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio and stronger performance in PSSA English Language Arts.
The schools in the 18080 zip code area demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with Northern Lehigh Senior High School maintaining a 90.4% four-year graduation rate and 1.8% dropout rate. However, the district as a whole faces inconsistent educational outcomes and room for improvement, as indicated by the 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger ratings. Addressing the specific areas of weakness, such as the low PSSA Math proficiency, and ensuring equitable resource allocation could help the Northern Lehigh School District enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all students in the 18080 zip code area.
