Summary:
The 19139 zip code of Philadelphia is home to 10 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 4 high schools, all part of the Philadelphia City School District. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the 19139 zip code show signs of success.
Lea Henry C School, an elementary school, has the highest overall PSSA test scores in the area, with 36% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 21.7% in Math. The Middle Years Alternative middle school also stands out, with 33.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 13% in Math. At the high school level, the Parkway West magnet program has the highest Keystone Exam proficiency rates, with 46.5% of 11th graders proficient or better in Literature and 17.5% in Biology.
However, the overall performance of schools in the 19139 zip code is well below the district and state averages, with high dropout rates and 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these challenges will require targeted interventions and support to help close the achievement gaps and provide equitable educational opportunities for all students in the community.
