Summary:
The 15227 zip code in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Brentwood Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others that suggest room for improvement.
Brentwood Senior High School has a graduation rate of 87.9% and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.4%. However, the school's performance on the Keystone Exams, which measure proficiency in core subjects, is somewhat uneven. While the school outperforms the district in Biology and Literature proficiency, it lags behind the state averages in all three subject areas tested. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (57.97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 and high spending per student of $23,499, the school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger ranging from 355 to 451 out of 674-686 Pennsylvania high schools and maintaining a 2-star rating. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively utilizing its resources to drive improved student outcomes, particularly for its economically disadvantaged population.
