Summary:
The city of Waynesburg, Pennsylvania is home to 5 schools across 2 school districts - the Central Greene School District and the West Greene School District. The schools include 2 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools.
Among the standout schools, West Greene Elementary Center shines with the highest overall PSSA test scores and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 30% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. On the high school level, Waynesburg Central Junior/Senior High School stands out with the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate, though its test scores lag behind state averages.
The data reveals a disparity in performance between the elementary and high schools, with the elementary schools, particularly West Greene Elementary Center, demonstrating stronger academic achievement. This suggests the transition to high school may be a challenge for some students, and the high schools may need to focus on improving their instructional practices and support systems. Additionally, the school with the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, West Greene Elementary Center, also has the strongest academic performance, challenging the assumption that socioeconomic status is a direct predictor of academic achievement.
