Summary:
The 18346 zip code area is home to two schools - Pocono Mountain West High School and Pocono Mountain West Junior High School, both part of the Pocono Mountain School District. While neither school stands out as a clear standout, the data reveals some key insights about their performance and characteristics.
Academically, both schools perform below the district and state averages, particularly in Math and Science proficiency on standardized tests. Pocono Mountain West High School is ranked 466 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools, while the junior high school is ranked 529 out of 891 middle schools. Graduation and dropout rates are also areas of concern, with the high school's four-year graduation rate at 87.5% and a 1.6% dropout rate.
The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, over 60% at both schools, suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may contribute to the lower academic performance observed. Additionally, the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the junior high school level compared to the high school level indicate a focus on providing more resources and support for younger students.
