Summary:

The 15530 zip code is home to a single middle school, Berlin Brothersvalley Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. As the only middle school in the area, it is the primary educational option for families in this community.

Berlin Brothersvalley Middle School is part of the Berlin Brothersvalley School District, which is ranked 174 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating. However, the middle school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 202 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 311 out of 873 in 2024-2025. Academically, the school's math proficiency rates are below the district and state averages, while its English Language Arts (ELA) and science proficiency rates are mixed, with some grades outperforming the district and state and others underperforming.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,367) and small student-teacher ratio (14:1), it faces challenges, including a dropout rate of 1.4% and a high percentage of students (37.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to the school's declining statewide ranking and suggest the need for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes for all students.
