Summary:
The 16061 zip code area has only one high school, Moniteau Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Moniteau School District. While the district is ranked 143 out of 606 in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating, Moniteau Junior/Senior High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, going from a 2-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in the following two years.
Academically, the school has shown mixed results, with proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts above the state averages but below the district averages in 2024-2025. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were below both the state and district averages. However, the school's performance on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature was generally on par with or slightly above the state averages. The school's high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the economic challenges, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and higher per-student spending of $20,382, which is above the state average. These factors suggest a focus on providing additional resources and support to the students, which could be a positive factor in the school's performance. However, the school's inconsistent statewide ranking and mixed academic results indicate that there is room for improvement in ensuring consistent and strong educational outcomes for all students.
