Best Public Schools in Zip Code 16662

Summary:

The 16662 zip code area is home to two schools - Central High School and Martinsburg Elementary School, both part of the Spring Cove School District. While the elementary school is performing relatively well academically, the high school has room for improvement, particularly in aligning its test scores with state averages.

Martinsburg Elementary School stands out with higher proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state, especially in 3rd grade. In contrast, Central High School has Keystone Exam proficiency rates below the state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature, despite a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%.

Both schools serve a population with higher levels of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rates of 47.17% at Central High School and 55.11% at Martinsburg Elementary School. This factor, along with the difference in spending per student ($16,269 at the high school and $14,283 at the elementary school), may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools.
