Summary:
The 17020 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Susquenita Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three years, its academic performance shows a mixed picture compared to state and district averages.
Susquenita Elementary School's math proficiency is below the state average but above the district average, while its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency falls short of both state and district benchmarks. The school's science proficiency, on the other hand, is above the district average but below the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with over 51% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, the Susquenita School District as a whole is ranked 422 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania, with a 2-star rating out of 5. This suggests that the district and the school may need to focus on improving academic performance, particularly in ELA, while also addressing the unique needs of their student population, which includes a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
