Summary:
The 16640 zip code is home to a single high school, Glendale Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Glendale School District. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 87th out of 674 schools in 2022-2023 to 278th out of 686 in 2023-2024 and 237th out of 681 in 2024-2025.
Academically, Glendale Junior/Senior High School faces some challenges, with math proficiency rates significantly below the state average, ranging from 21.6% to 24.1% for 7th and 8th grade, and 22.8% overall. However, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are closer to the state average, ranging from 47.1% to 50% for 7th and 8th grade, and 48.6% overall. The school's Keystone Exam proficiency rates are mixed, with Algebra I and Literature above the state average, but Biology below the state average.
The school serves a student population with a high level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 10.4. These factors suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to the school, though the impact on student outcomes is not entirely clear from the available data.
