Summary:
The 15554 zip code area is home to three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the Chestnut Ridge School District. While the elementary school lacks statewide ranking data, the middle and high schools stand out as strong performers, with Chestnut Ridge Senior High School consistently ranking among the top 25% of high schools in Pennsylvania and Chestnut Ridge Middle School ranking in the top 35% of the state's middle schools.
Chestnut Ridge Senior High School is the clear standout, with high proficiency rates in PSSA and Keystone exams, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I. The school has a 87.9% 4-year graduation rate and a 1.4% dropout rate, both of which are better than the state averages. Chestnut Ridge Middle School also performs well, with impressive science proficiency rates of over 86% of students scoring proficient or better.
While the schools serve a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with 54.47% to 62.93% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the academic performance of the district as a whole suggests that the schools are effectively supporting and educating their students. The consistent improvement in Chestnut Ridge Senior High School's statewide ranking over the past three years is a notable achievement, and the strong science proficiency at the middle school level could be an area of focus and strength for the district.
