Summary:
The 18201 zip code area of Hazleton, Pennsylvania is home to 3 public schools serving elementary and middle grade students, all part of the Hazleton Area School District. Based on the available data, these schools are collectively underperforming compared to state and district averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates.
None of the 3 schools - Heights Terrace El/Middle School, Hazleton El/Middle School, and Arthur Street Elementary School - have standout performance, with all 3 earning 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranking in the bottom half of Pennsylvania schools in their respective categories. Test scores are significantly below state and district averages, with proficiency rates as low as 14% in math at Heights Terrace El/Middle School.
These schools also face challenges related to high dropout rates, extremely high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and relatively high student-teacher ratios. While per-student spending is slightly below the state average, the data suggests these schools are struggling to effectively meet the needs of their student populations and improve academic outcomes. Significant additional resources and support may be needed to help raise student achievement in this area.
