Best Public Schools in Waymart, PA

Summary:

The city of Waymart, Pennsylvania has only one school, Wilson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 308 students. The school's student population is predominantly white (92.21%), with small percentages of other racial groups. While the school excels in science proficiency, it struggles in math and 5th grade English language arts (ELA), with proficiency rates below the Western Wayne School District and state averages.

Financially, the Western Wayne School District spends $32,212 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 54% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the school's academic performance challenges. Additionally, Wilson Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 436 out of 1,433 schools in 2020-2021 to 697 out of 1,534 schools in 2022-2023, despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Wilson Elementary School appears to be the sole educational institution in the Waymart area, and while it excels in science, it faces challenges in other academic areas and socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning. The school's declining statewide ranking suggests that it may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and support the success of its students.
