Best Public Schools in Zip Code 18626

Summary:

The 18626 zip code area is home to two schools - Sullivan County Elementary School and Sullivan County Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Sullivan County School District. While the junior/senior high school has seen fluctuations in its performance, the elementary school has maintained a consistent but below-average rating compared to other Pennsylvania schools.

The junior/senior high school has experienced significant changes in its statewide ranking, going from a high of 5 stars in 2021-2022 to just 2 stars in 2022-2023, before rebounding to 3 stars in 2023-2024. In contrast, the elementary school has maintained a stable 2-star rating over the past 3 years. Both schools underperform the state average in Math and ELA proficiency, though the junior/senior high exceeds the state average in some Keystone Exams.

The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with the junior/senior high spending significantly more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary school. However, these additional resources do not appear to translate into stronger academic performance. The higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school may be a contributing factor to its lower performance, highlighting the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities and providing additional support for disadvantaged students. Overall, the data suggests opportunities for the district to leverage the strengths of the junior/senior high school and implement targeted strategies to improve performance at the elementary level.
