Summary:

The 16686 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Tyrone Area Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 668 students. The school is part of the Tyrone Area School District, which is ranked 249 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tyrone Area Elementary School has seen mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in Math (44.3%) and English Language Arts (44.8%) below the state averages in 2024-2025. However, the school's 4th grade Science proficiency rate of 86.2% in 2023-2024 was significantly higher than the state average of 77.1%. The school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with 61.83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Despite these challenges, Tyrone Area Elementary maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1 in 2023-2024.

While Tyrone Area Elementary School is the only elementary school in the 16686 zip code area, its performance and characteristics provide valuable insights. The school's focus on science education and its ability to achieve high proficiency rates in this subject area despite serving a disadvantaged population suggest the school may be utilizing effective teaching strategies or allocating resources effectively in this domain. However, the school's below-average performance in Math and ELA, coupled with its relatively low per-student spending of $29, indicate that the school may face resource constraints that could impact its overall academic outcomes.
