The city of Lemoyne, Pennsylvania is home to a single elementary school, Washington Heights Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the West Shore School District and has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from minority and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
