Summary:
The 19128 zip code area of Philadelphia is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance among these schools, with some standouts like Green Woods Charter School and Lankenau High School significantly outperforming the Philadelphia City School District and Pennsylvania state averages, while others like Roxborough High School and Saul W B Agricultural School struggle to meet proficiency standards.
The high-performing schools, Green Woods Charter School and Lankenau High School, stand out with their exceptional PSSA and Keystone Exam scores, consistently outpacing the district and state averages. Cook-Wissahickon School and Shawmont School also perform better than the district average in many grade levels and subject areas.
The data also reveals significant disparities in funding, with spending per student ranging from $8,186 at Saul W B Agricultural School to $19,956 at Roxborough High School. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates at many of the schools suggest that these institutions serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance observed.
