Summary:
The city of South Williamsport, Pennsylvania is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: South Williamsport Area Junior/Senior High School, Central Elementary School, and Rommelt Elementary School. These schools operate within the South Williamsport Area School District.
Among the three schools, Central Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 521 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. In contrast, South Williamsport Area Junior/Senior High School and Rommelt Elementary School generally perform below the district and state averages on PSSA and Keystone Exams.
The data also reveals some interesting insights about the schools. The district has relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 43.94% at the high school to 58.19% at Rommelt Elementary, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, there is a wide disparity in spending per student, from $28 at the high school to $77 at Rommelt Elementary, which warrants further investigation. Overall, the data highlights the need for a more comprehensive analysis to understand the drivers of school performance and ensure equitable resource distribution across the district.
