Best Public Schools in Zip Code 15646

Summary:

The 15646 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Donegal Elementary School, which serves students in the Mount Pleasant Area School District. While Donegal Elementary has shown some strengths, such as consistently outperforming district and state averages in PSSA Science proficiency, its overall academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating in recent years.

Donegal Elementary School's PSSA Math proficiency for all grades (57.5%) was higher than the district (41.2%) and state (40.4%) averages in 2023-2024, but its English Language Arts proficiency (54.5%) was slightly lower than the district (52.3%) and state (53%) averages. The school's per-student spending of $15,550 is significantly higher than the state average, which could indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to the students.

With a student population of 109 and a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.45%, Donegal Elementary School may be serving a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can present unique challenges in terms of educational outcomes. However, the school's strong performance in Science suggests that it has the potential to excel in other areas as well, given the right resources and support.
