Summary:
The 15137 zip code in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, East Allegheny Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools for the past three school years and earning a 1-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale, indicating below-average performance.
East Allegheny Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on PSSA and Keystone Exams well below the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in PSSA Math was just 9.3%, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school's graduation rate of 87.9% is also slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $10,668 for the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school serves a student population with a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage that may be contributing to the school's challenges. Addressing the unique needs of this student population and implementing effective strategies for improving academic achievement will be crucial for the school's future success.
