Best Public Schools in Zip Code 18518


Summary:

The 18518 zip code area is home to two schools, Old Forge Elementary School and Old Forge Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Old Forge School District. While the district is ranked 405 out of 606 in Pennsylvania and has a 2-star rating, the schools themselves do not stand out as clear performers, with relatively low rankings and academic metrics compared to state averages.

Enrollment is similar between the elementary (493 students) and high school (453 students), and the racial makeup is predominantly White, with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. Academically, both schools struggle, with proficiency rates below the state averages in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. The high school has a 97.3% four-year graduation rate and a 0.6% dropout rate, while the elementary school has a 49.9% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population.

Overall, the data suggests that the Old Forge schools in the 18518 zip code area face challenges in student achievement and may need to focus on improving instructional practices and support to raise proficiency levels. Comparing the schools to state and district averages highlights their underperformance, and further analysis of trends and contributing factors could help the district develop more targeted strategies for improvement.
