Summary:
The 17401 zip code area in Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area generally struggle to meet state academic performance standards, a few standout institutions, such as York Academy Regional Charter School and McKinley School, demonstrate stronger academic results compared to their peers.
York Academy Regional Charter School stands out with higher proficiency rates, particularly in Keystone Exams for 11th-grade students, and a 4-year graduation rate of 87.9%. Meanwhile, McKinley School, a public elementary school within the York City School District, outperforms the district average in several academic areas, including math and English language arts proficiency, potentially due to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3.
However, the overall trend in the 17401 zip code area reveals significant challenges, with most schools performing below the state average on standardized tests. Additionally, all the schools in the data set have a very high percentage of students (over 99%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. This suggests that targeted interventions and support systems may be necessary to address the unique challenges faced by these students and help them achieve academic success.
