This school district is ranked 585 out of 606 in Pennsylvania and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in the educational system.

Toby Farms Intermediate School has a predominantly African American student population (85.28%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (12.37%) and White (1%) students. The school's academic performance is alarmingly low, with only 1.2% of students proficient or better in Math, 16% in Science, and 17.7% in English Language Arts on the PSSA tests, far below the state averages. Despite the high spending of $24,712 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's performance continues to decline, ranking 861 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

The school's challenges are further compounded by the high poverty level, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 suggests that resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in the 19045 zip code, highlighting the urgent need for targeted interventions and support to improve the quality of education for the students in this community.
