Summary:
The Washington School District in Pennsylvania has only one elementary school, Washington Park Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state average, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts significantly lower than the Pennsylvania state averages.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. However, the school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This could be a contributing factor to the school's struggles, as research has shown that poverty can have a significant impact on educational outcomes.
With only one elementary school in the district, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons and identify standout schools. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive data set that includes multiple schools within the district to provide a more complete picture of the educational landscape. The data suggests that the Washington School District may need to re-evaluate its strategies and allocate resources to improve the academic performance of Washington Park Elementary School.
