Summary:
The 19057 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Mill Creek Elementary and Miller Elementary) and 1 high school (Truman Senior High School). While the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high free/reduced lunch rates, there is a stark contrast in their academic performance.
Miller Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, significantly outperforming the Neshaminy School District and the state of Pennsylvania in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Mill Creek Elementary and Truman Senior High struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
Despite the challenges faced by Truman Senior High, the school has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 81.1% compared to the state average, and a relatively low dropout rate of 2.4%. However, the school's Keystone Exam proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state. These insights suggest that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and community engagement, play a crucial role in student outcomes within the 19057 zip code area.
