Summary:

The 18834 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Blue Ridge Elementary School, which serves students in the Blue Ridge School District. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 721 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 823 out of 1,534 in 2022-2023.

Blue Ridge Elementary School's proficiency rates on PSSA tests have been mixed, with some areas, such as 3rd grade Math, exceeding the state average, while others, like overall Math and English Language Arts, falling below. However, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts were generally higher than the state and district averages. The school serves a population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students receiving this benefit in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's fluctuating performance, it appears to have access to significant resources, with a relatively high per-student spending of $16,746 in the 2022-2023 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 for the 2023-2024 school year. Further analysis would be needed to understand how these resources are being utilized and how they impact the school's overall performance and the challenges it may face in serving its student population.
