Best Public Schools in New Wilmington, PA


Summary:

The city of New Wilmington, Pennsylvania is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Wilmington Area Elementary School, Wilmington Area Middle School, and Wilmington Area High School. These schools are part of the Wilmington Area School District and serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

Among the three schools, Wilmington Area Elementary School stands out as a consistent high performer, with students exceeding district and state averages on PSSA tests, particularly in science and English language arts. The school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8, may contribute to its strong academic performance. In contrast, Wilmington Area Middle School lags behind, with lower proficiency rates on PSSA tests and a higher student-teacher ratio of 17.4, suggesting a need for additional support and resources at the middle school level.

Wilmington Area High School also performs well, ranking 175 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school's students exceed district and state averages on Keystone Exams and maintain a relatively low dropout rate of 1.6%. However, the significant difference in spending per student between the elementary school and the middle/high schools is noteworthy and warrants further investigation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the district.
