Summary:
The 17314 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Delta-Peach Bottom Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with 279 students. The school is part of the South Eastern School District, which is ranked 263 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Delta-Peach Bottom Elementary School does not appear to be a standout school in the region. While it has higher-than-average proficiency rates in math and science compared to the state, its English Language Arts proficiency rates are significantly lower, ranging from 17% to 37.7% for grades 3 and 4, compared to the state average of 48.3% to 48.6%. Additionally, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 771 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,040 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school district spends $20,679 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes for students, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 43.37% in the 2023-2024 school year, may also be a factor contributing to the academic challenges faced by the school.
