Washington Elementary School has been ranked between 865 and 920 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on PSSA tests is mixed, with math and English Language Arts proficiency below the district and state averages, but science proficiency above the district and state averages. The school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 41.45%, indicating a significant portion of students come from low-income families.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $25,837 and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, the uneven academic performance suggests that the school may need to evaluate how its resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement. The school's focus should be on improving its overall academic performance, particularly in core subjects like math and English Language Arts, while also considering the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes.
