Summary:
The 18640 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Pittston Area School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole underperforms on standardized tests compared to state averages, the Pittston City Intrmd Center stands out with stronger academic performance, higher proficiency rates, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.
The Pittston Area Senior High School also has some bright spots, with a 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%, suggesting the school is effectively supporting students and helping them complete their high school education. However, the high school's test scores remain below the state average.
Across the district, the schools serve a student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the large percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This may present challenges for the schools in providing additional support and resources. Nevertheless, the district appears to be investing in maintaining small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios ranging from 14.7 to 19.1 across the schools.
