Summary:
The 16232 zip code area is home to a single high school, Keystone Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Keystone School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state average, particularly in mathematics. The school also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the academic challenges it faces.
Keystone Junior/Senior High School's 4-year graduation rate is 87.9%, with a dropout rate of 1.4%. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 274 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 447 out of 681 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars. This suggests a concerning trend in the school's academic performance, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average.
Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $18,615, which is higher than the state average. This may indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and identify opportunities for more targeted investments in areas that can drive improved student outcomes, such as strengthening math instruction and providing additional support for economically disadvantaged students.
