Summary:
The Washington School District in Pennsylvania has only one middle school, Washington Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past three years, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement.
Washington Junior High School's performance on PSSA tests is below the state and district averages in both Math and English Language Arts across all grades. In Math, the school's proficiency rates range from 13.2% to 23.8%, compared to the state average of 28.6% to 40.4%. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates range from 43.9% to 51.8%, compared to the state average of 52.2% to 53.4%. The school's Science proficiency rates are closer to the state and district averages, ranging from 50.6% to 58%.
The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 100% for the 2022-2023 school year, and the school district's overall ranking is 479 out of 610 in Pennsylvania and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's per-student spending for the 2021-2022 school year was $17,400, which may indicate limited resources and funding available to support the school's improvement efforts. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 for the 2022-2023 school year could be an advantage, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students.
