Summary:
The 19518 zip code area is home to two schools - Daniel Boone Area Middle School and Daniel Boone Area Intermediate Center, both part of the Daniel Boone Area School District. While the middle school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the intermediate center stands out as a high-performing elementary school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.
The Daniel Boone Area Intermediate Center boasts impressive test scores, with 58.7% of students proficient or better in math in 2023-2024, compared to 47.4% for the district and 40.4% for the state. In contrast, the middle school's math proficiency rates, while above the state average, are lower than the district average, suggesting an area for improvement. The middle school has also seen its statewide ranking drop from 232 out of 891 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2023-2024 to 349 out of 893 in 2022-2023, before improving to 291 out of 883 in 2021-2022.
Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, with the intermediate center at 41.95% and the middle school at 39.96% in 2022-2023, indicating the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and the availability of resources and support for these students. Additionally, the difference in student-teacher ratios between the two schools (13.1 at the middle school vs. 14.5 at the intermediate center) may be a factor in the academic performance differences, with the middle school potentially benefiting from a more favorable ratio.
