Summary:
The 19605 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Muhlenberg School District, including 1 high school, 2 middle schools, and 1 elementary school. While the schools share some common challenges, such as consistently low academic performance and high poverty levels, there are also some bright spots worth highlighting.
Muhlenberg Elementary Center stands out for its strong PSSA Science proficiency rates, which exceed the district and state averages, despite the school's overall struggles in Math and English Language Arts. Similarly, C E Cole Intermediate School also has a relatively high PSSA Science proficiency rate, suggesting potential areas of strength that the district can build upon.
However, the majority of the schools in the Muhlenberg School District face significant challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests, high dropout rates, and declining statewide rankings. Muhlenberg High School and Muhlenberg Junior High School have both seen their statewide rankings drop in recent years, indicating a need for the district to evaluate and address the factors contributing to this decline. Addressing the high poverty levels across all four schools, which range from 66.81% to 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a crucial step in improving student outcomes in the Muhlenberg School District.
