Best Public Schools in Zip Code 18834


Summary:

The 18834 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Blue Ridge School District, including 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free/reduced lunch, some standout performance is seen at the elementary level, particularly in science and ELA proficiency.

Blue Ridge Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in PSSA Science (81% vs. 65.6% state average) and ELA (55.6% vs. 53.8% state average), as well as a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8. In contrast, the middle and high schools struggle to meet state averages in math and certain Keystone Exam subjects, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve academic performance across grade levels.

The high school, Blue Ridge High School, has a solid 86.1% four-year graduation rate and a low dropout rate of 0.6%, outperforming state averages. However, its Keystone Exam proficiency rates are mixed, with Literature (64.9%) outperforming the state, but Algebra I (26.9%) and Biology (55.9%) lagging behind. The district's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios suggest a focus on resource allocation, but the uneven academic performance across schools indicates a need to evaluate the effectiveness of these investments.
