Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19422

Summary:

The 19422 zip code area is home to two elementary schools, Stony Creek Elementary School and Blue Bell Elementary School, both part of the highly-ranked Wissahickon School District. While both schools perform well, Stony Creek Elementary stands out as a consistent top performer, consistently ranking among the top 10 elementary schools in Pennsylvania over the past three school years.

Stony Creek Elementary School has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating excellent overall performance, and consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Blue Bell Elementary School, while still a strong performer, has seen its statewide ranking decline from 92nd in 2021-2022 to 311th in 2023-2024, and its rating has dropped from 5 stars to 4 stars over the same period.

The significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with Stony Creek spending nearly 30% more than Blue Bell, may be a contributing factor to its superior academic performance. However, the similar socioeconomic profiles of the two schools suggest that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school-level leadership, teaching quality, and instructional practices, may be more influential in driving the observed differences in academic achievement.
