Summary:
The 18421 zip code in Pennsylvania is home to two schools, Forest City Regional Elementary School and Forest City Regional High School, both part of the Forest City Regional School District. The district is ranked 359 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools in this area are struggling academically compared to other schools in the state.
The student population at both schools is predominantly white, with relatively low representation of minority groups. Academically, the schools perform below the state average on PSSA and Keystone exams, with the exception of PSSA Science proficiency at the elementary school. The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools (54.61% at the elementary school and 85.32% at the high school) suggests a relatively low-income student population. Despite the high spending per student ($21,231 for the elementary school and $20,998 for the high school) and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance of the schools remains a concern.
While the high graduation rate (96.3%) and low dropout rate (0.0%) at the high school are positive indicators, the overall academic performance of the schools in the 18421 zip code is a cause for concern and warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
