Summary:
The 16314 zip code area is home to two schools - Cochranton Junior/Senior High School and Cochranton Elementary School, both part of the Crawford Central School District. While the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts and Keystone Exams, particularly in Literature. The elementary school, on the other hand, impresses with its high science proficiency rates, well above the district and state averages.
Cochranton Junior/Senior High School boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, and its students have demonstrated impressive proficiency in English Language Arts, with 69.5% scoring proficient or better on the PSSA exams in 2024-2025.

Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the high school ($23,333) and the elementary school ($14,433) for the 2022-2023 school year may be an area for further investigation to understand the resource allocation and potential impact on student outcomes.
