Summary:
Zip code 17938 is home to a single school, Tri-Valley Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 as part of the Tri-Valley School District and has a total enrollment of 427 students.
Tri-Valley Junior/Senior High School shows a clear split in academic performance. The school excels in English Language Arts and Science, with 50.8% of students proficient in PSSA ELA (above the state average of 48.5%) and high school Keystone scores in Biology (59.1%) and Literature (66.7%) both significantly outperforming state averages. However, math proficiency is a major concern, with only 17.9% of all students proficient in PSSA Math, less than half the state average of 41.7%. This weakness persists into high school, where just 30.3% of 11th graders are proficient in Algebra I. Despite this math challenge, the school boasts a strong graduation rate of 94.5% (well above the state average of 89.1%) and a very low dropout rate of 0.7%. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, which likely supports its success in non-math subjects.
The school has shown significant improvement in its state ranking, jumping from the 29th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 51st percentile in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating. With 34.19% of students economically disadvantaged and a spending per student of $15,401, the school appears to effectively support its students toward graduation, even as it works to address its math proficiency gap. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment with strong outcomes in reading and science, but math instruction is an area that may require additional attention at home.
