Summary:

The 18507 zip code contains a single school, Riverside Elementary School East, which serves grades 3-6 and is part of the Riverside School District. The district is ranked 252 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverside Elementary School East has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 925 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 1,009 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025, while maintaining a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the state average in both Math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's Math proficiency rate for all grades was 36.5%, compared to the state average of 41.7%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 99.1% in 2023-2024.

Despite these challenges, Riverside Elementary School East has a higher per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year at $17,671, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.4, compared to the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be allocating resources in a way that does not directly translate to improved student outcomes, and further analysis may be needed to identify opportunities for more effective resource allocation and targeted interventions to address the school's academic performance challenges.
