Washington School District

The Washington School District in Pennsylvania consists of three schools: Washington Park Elementary School, Washington High School, and Washington Junior High School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and face significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools, Washington Park Elementary School has the largest enrollment and the highest science proficiency rates, but its math proficiency lags behind the state average. Washington High School has a relatively high graduation rate and a low dropout rate, but its Keystone Exam proficiency rates, especially in Algebra I and Biology, are significantly lower than the state average. Washington Junior High School stands out with stronger English Language Arts scores, but its math proficiency rates are also well below the state average.

Overall, the schools in the Washington School District face academic performance gaps, particularly in math, and significant socioeconomic challenges. While there is variation in the strengths and weaknesses of each school, the district as a whole has room for improvement in supporting student success and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to these disparities.
