Summary:
The 17113 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, which are part of the Steelton-Highspire School District and the Central Dauphin School District. While the data reveals significant performance and resource disparities between the schools, Tri-Community Elementary School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on PSSA assessments.
In contrast, the Steelton-Highspire Elementary School and Steelton-Highspire High School face challenges related to low academic achievement, with only 12% of Steelton-Highspire Elementary students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 30% at Tri-Community Elementary. The data also reveals a wide gap in per-student spending between the Steelton-Highspire and Central Dauphin schools, which could be a contributing factor to the performance differences observed.
Despite these challenges, Steelton-Highspire High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9%, which is a positive finding. However, both Steelton-Highspire High School and Swatara Middle School have dropout rates of 1.4%, which is still a concern. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the educational inequities in this community.
