Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19504

Summary:

The 19504 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Washington Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Boyertown Area School District. While the school's science proficiency is notably higher than the district and state averages, its overall academic performance in math and English language arts lags behind, and the school faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Washington Elementary School's student population is predominantly White (85.85%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic, African American, Asian, and Native American students. The school's PSSA math and ELA proficiency rates (45.4% and 44.5%, respectively) are below the district and state averages, but its science proficiency (80%) is significantly higher. The school is ranked 920 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its ranking has fluctuated in recent years.

The high percentage of students (41.45%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact academic achievement. However, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than typical. While the school's performance is below the district and state averages in some areas, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in math and ELA proficiency, if the school can effectively address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
