Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19611

Summary:

The 19611 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to two elementary schools - Millmont Elementary School and West Reading Elementary Center. While both serve students in grades K-5, the data reveals a stark contrast in their performance and resources.

West Reading Elementary Center stands out as the higher-performing school, ranking 167 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students demonstrate significantly stronger proficiency in Math and English Language Arts compared to both Millmont Elementary and the state averages. Additionally, West Reading benefits from a better student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending.

In contrast, Millmont Elementary, which is part of the Reading School District, appears to be a lower-performing school. It ranks 558 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating. Millmont's test scores lag significantly behind state averages, and it serves a high-poverty student population with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate. The limited data available for Millmont raises concerns about the resources and support available to this school.
