Summary:
The 18403 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Valley View School District, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with Valley View High School standing out as a top-performing institution in the state, while the middle and elementary schools show room for improvement in certain areas.
Valley View High School is the standout, ranking in the top 25% of Pennsylvania high schools and boasting a 96.2% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Valley View Middle School and Valley View Intrmd School have more mixed academic performance, with the middle school underperforming the state average in PSSA Math assessments and the elementary school showing stronger results in PSSA English Language Arts and Science.
Across the district, there is a need to address socioeconomic factors, as a significant portion of students (25-37%) receive free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity. Despite these challenges, the district's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest a commitment to investing in the education of these students, which may be contributing to the overall strong performance, particularly at the high school level.
