The 15801 zip code area is home to a single middle school, DuBois Area Middle School, which serves 1,063 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the DuBois Area School District, which is ranked 180 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

DuBois Area Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past 3 years, going from 259 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2022-2023 to 309 out of 873 in 2024-2025. The school's math proficiency rates are generally below the district and state averages, ranging from 32.1% for 8th grade to 48.6% for 5th grade in 2024-2025. However, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are closer to the benchmarks, ranging from 39.1% for 8th grade to 54.5% for 7th grade in 2024-2025.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,522 and small class sizes with a 13.6 student-teacher ratio, the data suggests DuBois Area Middle School is facing some academic and performance challenges, particularly in math. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the drivers behind the school's performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
