Summary:
The 19076 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Prospect Park School and Kindergarten Academy) and 1 high school (Interboro Senior High School). While the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, they demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and challenges.
Interboro Senior High School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 61st in 2020-2021 to 366th in 2022-2023. However, the school maintains a relatively high 92.4% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.1% dropout rate. In contrast, Prospect Park School has shown some improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 1000th out of 1433 in 2020-2021 to 798th out of 1534 in 2022-2023. The elementary school's performance on PSSA exams is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some notable exceptions in math proficiency.
Across the schools, the high percentages of free/reduced lunch eligibility, ranging from 54.77% at Interboro Senior High School to 62.14% at Prospect Park School, suggest that these institutions serve predominantly low-income student populations. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges observed and should be considered when evaluating the schools' performance. Despite the similarities in per-student spending across the schools, the data indicates opportunities for improvement in specific academic areas, particularly in mathematics, as the Interboro School District works to support the growth and development of its students.
