Wharton School's per-student spending is relatively high at $18,184, but the school still has a higher student-to-teacher ratio compared to other elementary schools in the district.

The school is ranked 750 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 3-star rating, indicating average performance compared to its peers.

The Uniontown Area School District, which Wharton School is a part of, is ranked 378 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This low ranking and rating for the district as a whole suggest that the area may face challenges in providing high-quality education to its students, and the school and district should work to improve academic outcomes and resource allocation across all schools in the district.
