Washington School District


Summary:

The Washington School District in Washington, PA serves students from elementary through high school across three schools: Washington Park Elementary School, Washington High School, and Washington Junior High School. The district faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and potential equity concerns.

Washington Park Elementary School stands out as the largest school with 830 students, but it also has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 99.76% and the lowest test scores, with only 46.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math. In contrast, Washington High School and Washington Junior High School have lower enrollments of 407 and 219 students, respectively, and even lower academic performance, with graduation rates and test scores well below the state averages.

The district's student population is diverse, with significant percentages of African American and Hispanic students, as well as students of two or more races. However, the high-poverty levels and academic struggles suggest that the district may be facing equity challenges in ensuring all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all students in the Washington School District.
