Summary:
The 17006 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Blain Elementary School, which serves students in the West Perry School District. While the school's academic performance is somewhat mixed compared to district and state averages, it faces unique challenges due to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Blain Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 748 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 881 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025. The school's math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally above the district average but below the state average, with some variation across grade levels and academic years. However, the school's science proficiency rates have been above both the district and state averages.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, the data suggests that Blain Elementary School may face unique challenges in supporting student success. With 99.63% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which can impact learning and resource allocation. While the school's investments in resources are evident, the academic performance data indicates that further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve its outcomes and better serve the needs of its students.
