Within this zip code, a few schools stand out in their academic performance. Moffet John School is an elementary school that ranks in the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with significantly higher proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts compared to the district and state averages. Another high-performing school is Dunbar Paul L School, an elementary/middle school that ranks in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and has above-average proficiency rates in several subject areas.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance among the schools in this zip code. While some schools are excelling, others, such as Kensington Creative & Performing Arts High School, are struggling, with very low proficiency rates on state assessments. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the educational challenges faced by these schools, which serve populations with high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
