Summary:
The 16933 zip code area is home to two schools, Warren L Miller Elementary School and North Penn-Mansfield Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Southern Tioga School District. While the schools share a district, they have varying performance levels, with the elementary school consistently ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools and the high school ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools.
Warren L Miller Elementary School has struggled academically, with its PSSA math and English language arts proficiency rates generally below state and district averages. The school serves a relatively low-income student population, with 62.19% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's higher spending per student ($16,271) and lower student-teacher ratio (11.5) compared to the high school, it has not translated into stronger academic outcomes. In contrast, North Penn-Mansfield Junior/Senior High School has a more mixed performance, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding state and district averages on PSSA and Keystone Exams, while others fall behind.
Both schools serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with over 50% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. The high school, however, has a higher student-teacher ratio (12.8) and spends more per student ($17,498) than the elementary school, which could indicate a greater emphasis on specialized programs, facilities, or staffing needs at the secondary level. Overall, the data suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in areas where the schools are underperforming compared to state and district averages.
