Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19310

The 19310 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Octorara Area School District, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the Octorara Primary LC and Octorara Elementary School perform better than the district and state averages in some areas, the Octorara Area Junior/Senior High School struggles, particularly in math proficiency.

Octorara Elementary School stands out, ranking higher than the district and state in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency for grades 3-4, and having a relatively high 74.6% proficiency rate in PSSA Science for 4th grade. Meanwhile, Octorara Intermediate School performs better than the district and state in PSSA English Language Arts proficiency for grades 5-6, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio and per-student spending in the district.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools having extremely high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges in the area. Additionally, the Keystone Exam proficiency rates at the high school are below the state average, and PSSA Math proficiency rates are low across the district. Addressing these equity concerns and academic disparities could be key focus areas for the Octorara Area School District to improve student success across all grade levels.
