The 16743 zip code is home to a single high school, Port Allegany Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Port Allegany School District. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it has consistently struggled to meet state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in Math and English Language Arts.
Port Allegany Junior/Senior High School's four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.4% is relatively low. However, the school's proficiency rates on PSSA and Keystone Exams are significantly below state averages, with only 25% proficiency in Math and 40.7% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature also lags behind state averages.
While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.1 and higher-than-average spending per student at $16,839, the data does not provide information on the school's socioeconomic profile, which could be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Overall, the single high school in the 16743 zip code faces significant hurdles in improving student outcomes and meeting state benchmarks, and further analysis of the school's resources and strategies may be necessary to address these issues.
