Summary:
The 16130 zip code is home to a single high school, Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Commodore Perry School District. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 101 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools (4-star rating) in 2023-2024 to 371 out of 681 (2-star rating) in 2024-2025.
Academically, Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School faces some challenges, with proficiency rates on PSSA and Keystone exams generally below the state averages, particularly in Math. However, the school does have a higher-than-average proficiency rate on the Keystone Exams Literature test. The school serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 93.56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Commodore Perry Junior/Senior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 and a significantly higher per-student spending of $35,411 compared to the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be allocating resources in a way that has not yet translated into consistent academic success for its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's performance and identify strategies to improve outcomes for the community it serves.
