Summary:

The 15522 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Bedford Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bedford Area School District, which is ranked 167 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating.

Bedford Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages. While 3rd-grade math proficiency is above the state average, 4th and 5th-grade math, as well as English Language Arts proficiency across all grades, fall below the state average. However, the school's 4th-grade science proficiency is above the state average. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 809 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 994 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating.

Bedford Elementary School serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with 54.13% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $16,096, and the student-teacher ratio is 15.9 for the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest that the school is investing resources in its students, but the academic performance data indicates that these investments may not be translating into consistently strong outcomes.
