Summary:
The 18407 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 public charter school and 2 traditional public schools. While the academic performance varies across these institutions, the Fell Charter School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outpacing its peers and the state averages in key subject areas.
The Carbondale Area Junior/Senior High School and Carbondale Elementary School, both part of the Carbondale Area School District, struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts. In contrast, the Fell Charter School, a public charter school, stands out with significantly higher proficiency rates, particularly in PSSA Math and English Language Arts.
The data also reveals that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. While the Carbondale Elementary School has the highest spending per student at $17,755, it still struggles to meet state proficiency levels. The Fell Charter School, with a lower spending per student than the elementary school, achieves significantly higher proficiency rates, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be at play in driving academic success.
