Summary:
The 18436 zip code area is home to 4 public schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area demonstrate a mix of academic performance, with some standout institutions like EverGreen Elementary School consistently outperforming district and state averages, while others like Western Wayne Middle School lag behind.
EverGreen Elementary School is a standout, ranking 409 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels, despite having a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Western Wayne Middle School has PSSA proficiency rates that are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Math.
The data also reveals that school performance is closely tied to the overall performance of the school district. For example, North Pocono School District, which includes Jefferson Elementary School, is ranked higher than the Western Wayne School District, which includes the other schools in the data set. Additionally, the significant variation in free and reduced-price lunch rates across the schools suggests potential equity concerns that may warrant further investigation and targeted support.
