Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19139


Summary:

The 19139 zip code of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 4 high schools. These schools serve a predominantly African American student population facing significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While some standout schools, such as Lea Henry C School and Middle Years Alternative, are performing relatively well with higher test scores and graduation rates, the majority of the schools in the 19139 zip code are struggling academically. Parkway West stands out with the highest graduation rate at 80.9%, while Sayre William L Middle School has the highest dropout rate at 7%.

The data suggests that the high poverty levels and student-teacher ratios that are generally higher than the state average may be contributing factors to the academic challenges faced by these schools. Addressing the socioeconomic needs of the student population and providing targeted interventions and additional resources could potentially lead to improved outcomes for the schools in the 19139 zip code, which serve the Philadelphia City School District and the KIPP Philadelphia Octavius Catto Charter School.
