Westinghouse Arts Academy Charter School

Westinghouse Arts Academy Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania. With a total enrollment of 316 students, the school is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 428 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

The school's graduation rate of 87.5% is slightly below the state average, and its performance on Keystone Exams is mixed, with students scoring below the state average in Algebra I and Biology but above average in Literature. The school has a very high percentage of students (95.25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school's per-student spending of $14,925 is only slightly above the state average, which may limit the resources available to support the needs of the student population.

Overall, the data suggests that Westinghouse Arts Academy Charter School is facing challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subjects, and in serving a student population with significant economic disadvantages. The school's declining statewide ranking over time is also a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention to improve educational outcomes for its students.
