Summary:
The 15133 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the South Allegheny School District: South Allegheny Elementary School, South Allegheny High School, and South Allegheny Middle School. These schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
While the elementary school stands out with relatively high math and ELA proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grades, the district as a whole is struggling academically. The high school has a graduation rate below the state average and low proficiency rates on Keystone exams, particularly in Algebra I and Biology. Similarly, the middle school's proficiency rates in math and ELA are significantly below state averages, especially in 7th and 8th grades.
Interestingly, per-student spending varies across the schools, with the high school receiving the highest funding at $12,110 per student, followed by the elementary school at $10,522 and the middle school at $8,559. This suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the district. Addressing the underlying factors, such as targeted interventions and support for the high-poverty student population, could be crucial in driving improvements across the South Allegheny School District.
