Summary:
The 15066 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to three schools - New Brighton Area Elementary School, New Brighton Area High School, and New Brighton Area Middle School - all part of the New Brighton Area School District. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with an overall ranking of 458 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and a 1 out of 5-star rating, there are some standout schools and metrics worth noting.
Among the three schools, New Brighton Area High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a lower dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools generally perform below the state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency, with some exceptions like the 6th grade ELA performance at the New Brighton Area Middle School. The middle school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which could contribute to more personalized attention for students.
Across all three schools, the 100% free/reduced lunch rates suggest a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population, which can be a significant factor in academic performance. However, the data also reveals potential areas of strength, such as the high school's graduation and dropout rates, that could be further explored to improve overall district outcomes.
