Summary:
The 16335 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Crawford Central School District. While the district is ranked 332 out of 606 in the state and has a 2-star rating, the schools within the zip code show a wide range of academic performance and student outcomes.
West End Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with 58.8% of students proficient or better in Math and 55.8% in English Language Arts, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. In contrast, Second District Elementary School has the lowest test scores in the area. The Meadville Middle School has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.7, which may contribute to more personalized instruction, while Meadville Area Senior High School boasts the highest graduation rate at 87.9% and the lowest dropout rate at 1.4%.
Across the schools, there is a high level of economic disadvantage, with all schools having free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 78.57% to 100%. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to the wide achievement gaps observed in the data. While spending per student varies from $14,399 to $21,546, the highest-performing school, West End Elementary, does not have the highest per-student spending, indicating that factors such as instructional practices, school leadership, and community engagement may play a more significant role in driving student success.
