Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15650

Summary:

The 15650 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and no alternative schools. The majority of these schools are part of the Greater Latrobe School District, while a few are independent institutions like the Dr. Robert Ketterer Charter School and the Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center.

Within this group, a few schools stand out. Greater Latrobe Junior High School is ranked in the top 78 out of 873 Pennsylvania middle schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Greater Latrobe Senior High School also performs well academically, with high proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams and a strong 4-year graduation rate of 87.9%. The two elementary schools, Latrobe Elementary School and Baggaley Elementary School, have generally strong academic performance, often exceeding state and district averages on PSSA exams.

In contrast, the Dr. Robert Ketterer Charter School stands out as an outlier, with much lower academic performance, higher poverty rates, and significantly lower spending per student compared to the other schools in the area. The Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center also has a very small enrollment of only 10 students, which may limit the breadth of programs and resources available.
