Best Public Schools in Washington, PA

Summary:

The city of Washington, Pennsylvania is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area display a mix of high-performing and low-performing institutions, with the Trinity Area School District consistently outperforming the state and district averages, while the Washington School District faces more significant challenges.

The standout schools in the area include Trinity East Elementary School, which ranks 40th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, as well as Trinity South Elementary School and Trinity Senior High School, both of which have 4-star ratings and strong test scores. In contrast, the Washington High School and Washington Junior High School in the Washington School District perform significantly worse than the state and district averages on most metrics.

The high free/reduced lunch rates at some schools, particularly Washington Park Elementary and Washington Junior High, suggest these schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, which likely contributes to their lower performance. Additionally, the variation in student/teacher ratios across the schools, with Trinity South Elementary having the lowest ratio, may also play a role in the academic success of certain schools in the area.
