Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19018

Summary:

The 19018 zip code area is home to three elementary schools: Westbrook Park Elementary School, Primos Elementary School, and Aldan Elementary School. These schools serve students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, with all three reporting 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the three schools, Primos Elementary School stands out with the highest overall PSSA test scores, including 49.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 33.9% in Math. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 may contribute to its stronger academic performance. In contrast, Westbrook Park Elementary School and Aldan Elementary School lag behind the district and state averages in many PSSA test areas, suggesting significant academic achievement gaps within the 19018 zip code area.

The schools also differ in their racial compositions, with Aldan Elementary School having the highest percentage of African American students at 73.11%, while Westbrook Park Elementary School has the highest percentage of white students at 41.02%. These disparities point to potential issues of racial segregation and inequity within the education system serving the 19018 zip code area. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending, with Aldan Elementary School receiving the highest funding, do not directly translate to better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may play a crucial role in student success.
