Summary:
The 16652 zip code area is home to three elementary schools: Standing Stone Elementary School, Southside Elementary School, and Stone Valley Community Charter School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Huntingdon Area School District and the Stone Valley Community Charter School district.
Among the three schools, Standing Stone Elementary School and Southside Elementary School stand out as the stronger performers, ranking in the top 62% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2024-2025. Standing Stone Elementary School had the highest spending per student at $15,208 and outperformed the district and state in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade PSSA Math and English Language Arts scores. Southside Elementary School, on the other hand, had the lowest spending per student at $12,449 but still outperformed the district and state in 3rd grade PSSA assessments.
In contrast, Stone Valley Community Charter School ranked in the bottom 27% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and performed significantly lower than the other two schools in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grades. This school also had the lowest student-teacher ratio at 7.9, suggesting that factors beyond just resources may be contributing to its weaker academic performance compared to the traditional public schools in the area.
