Summary:
The 17870 zip code is home to a single middle school, Selinsgrove Area Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. As the only middle school in the area, it is the primary educational option for families in this zip code. The school is part of the Selinsgrove Area School District, which is ranked 137 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Selinsgrove Area Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 159th in 2022-2023 to 206th in 2023-2024 and 241st in 2024-2025. While the school's math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are higher than the state average, they are lower than the district average. However, the school's science proficiency rates are higher than both the state and district averages. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 49.35% in 2023-2024, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance and ranking.
Despite the school's declining statewide ranking, it is well-resourced, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 and a per-student spending of $16,542 for the 2022-2023 school year. These resources suggest that the school has the potential to improve its academic outcomes and ranking, but further analysis of its strategies and resource allocation would be needed to understand how to best support student learning and achievement.
