Summary:

The 15658 zip code is home to a single middle school, Ligonier Valley Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8 within the Ligonier Valley School District. This school has seen steady improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 437th out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 259th out of 873 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ligonier Valley Middle School's standout performance is particularly evident in its English Language Arts proficiency rates, which exceed both the district and state averages across all grade levels in 2024-2025. However, the school's math proficiency rates show a mixed picture, with 6th grade students outperforming their peers at the district and state level, but 7th and 8th grade math scores lagging behind. The school's dropout rate is relatively low at 1.4% in 2023-2024, and it benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.7 in the same year, suggesting a supportive learning environment.

While the school serves a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 42.96% in 2023-2024, it also receives higher-than-average spending per student at $17,572 in 2022-2023. This resource allocation may contribute to the school's overall performance and its ability to support the diverse needs of its student body.
