Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19150

Summary:

The 19150 zip code area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Franklin S Edmonds School and McCloskey John F School) and 1 high school (Hill Freedman World Academy). While the high school stands out as a relatively stronger performer, the elementary schools face academic challenges compared to Philadelphia City School District and Pennsylvania state averages.

Hill Freedman World Academy is the top-performing school in the area, with higher proficiency rates in PSSA/Math, PSSA/Science, and PSSA/English Language Arts compared to the district and state. The school also has a strong 87.5% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the district average. In contrast, the elementary schools, Franklin S Edmonds School and McCloskey John F School, have lower proficiency rates across these subject areas.

All 3 schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the elementary schools. However, the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending compared to the district average, suggesting that targeted interventions could help improve student outcomes, especially at the elementary level.
