Summary:

The 16301 zip code in Pennsylvania is home to a single high school, Oil City Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school faces some challenges, it also benefits from relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending.

Oil City Senior High School has a graduation rate of 87.9%, which is slightly below the state average. The school's performance on Keystone Exams is mixed, with students scoring below the state average in Algebra I but exceeding the state average in Biology. However, the school's Literature proficiency is also below the state benchmark. With 100.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite these challenges, the school's investment in its students is evident, with spending per student reaching $17,741, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.8 to 1 is relatively low, which could contribute to more individualized attention for students. However, the school's performance has declined over the past few years, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating on SchoolDigger.com, indicating the need for continued monitoring and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
