Summary:

The 16242 zip code is home to a single high school, Redbank Valley High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Redbank Valley School District, which is ranked 301 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating.

Redbank Valley High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, which are relatively strong indicators. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA and Keystone Exam scores, is mixed compared to state averages. While English Language Arts proficiency is closer to the state average, math proficiency rates are below the state average across all grade levels. On the other hand, Keystone Exam scores in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature are more promising, with proficiency rates ranging from 46.2% to 55.1%.

The school serves a high-need student population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its relatively strong graduation and dropout rates. Overall, Redbank Valley High School appears to be providing a supportive environment for its students, but there is room for improvement in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics.
