While the schools in the 17025 zip code area have varying levels of student performance, the data suggests that there may be inconsistencies in achievement across different grade levels, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. The graduation rate at East Pennsboro Area Senior High School is 87.9%, and the school also demonstrates strong performance on the Keystone Exams. However, the elementary and middle schools in the area have mixed results on the PSSA exams, with some grade levels performing above the state and district averages, while others fall below.

The data also reveals disparities in student socioeconomic status, as evidenced by the wide range in free and reduced-price lunch rates across the schools, from 19.85% at Shaull Elementary School to 53.83% at East Pennsboro Area Middle School. The relationship between spending per student and student performance is not entirely clear, as the highest-performing school is not necessarily the highest-spending school.
