Summary:
The 18657 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Tunkhannock Area School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a high-need student population, with several schools having over 98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The standout school in the area is the Tunkhannock Area Intermediate Center, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts. This school spends the most per student at $23,917, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. In contrast, the Tunkhannock High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, with its proficiency rates generally below the district and state averages.
The Tunkhannock STEM Academy, a dedicated middle school with a STEM-focused curriculum, stands out with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.4, allowing for more individualized attention. However, its test scores are below the district and state averages, suggesting the need for additional support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by the high-need student population in this area.
