Summary:
The city of Lakewood, Pennsylvania has only one school in the data set - Preston School, an elementary school serving grades K-8 with 160 students. Preston School is part of the Wayne Highlands School District, which is ranked 95 out of 610 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating.
Preston School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 514 in 2021-2022 to 1037 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024, and has a 2-star rating. While the school's science proficiency rates are above the state average, its math and English language arts proficiency rates are generally lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, over 54% of Preston School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high socioeconomic need among the student population.
Despite the challenges, Preston School has some strengths, including a high spending of $23,815 per student and a small 10:1 student-teacher ratio. These resources could be leveraged to support strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in math and English language arts. Overall, the data suggests that Preston School has room for improvement, and the school district may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to help the school better serve its students.
