Summary:
The 18655 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school - all part of the Northwest Area School District. While the schools generally perform around the district and state averages, a few standouts emerge, including Northwest Area High School with its strong graduation rate and Keystone Exam scores, and Northwest Area Intermediate School for its exceptional PSSA Math and Science performance.
The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity. However, a significant portion of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 41-53% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This raises questions about equitable resource distribution and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed. Additionally, the high school's below-average Algebra I Keystone Exam proficiency suggests a potential area for improvement in math instruction.
Overall, the schools in the 18655 zip code demonstrate a level of academic consistency, with strengths in certain areas and opportunities for growth in others. Further collaboration with school administrators and the community could help address the identified challenges and build upon the schools' successes to provide a well-rounded educational experience for all students.
