Best Public Schools in Zip Code 17086

Summary:

The 17086 zip code has only one school, East Juniata Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Juniata County School District. With a total enrollment of 399 students, the school is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in Pennsylvania, earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Juniata Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 489 out of 1,534 schools in 2022-2023 to 875 out of 1,511 schools in 2024-2025. Academically, the school generally outperforms the Juniata County School District but lags behind the state averages in both Math and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 60.65%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

While the school's per-student spending of $11,318 is slightly higher than the district average, and its student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is lower than the state average, these factors do not seem to be translating into stronger academic results. The declining statewide ranking and underperformance compared to state averages suggest that East Juniata Elementary School is facing challenges in maintaining its competitiveness and supporting student success.
