High Schools in Washington School District

The Washington School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Washington High School, which has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in the state. The school ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Washington High School's academic achievement is significantly below the state average on the Keystone Exams, with only 14.7% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, 18.6% in Biology, and 25% in Literature, compared to state averages of 41.6%, 50.5%, and 63.2%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate is also lower than the state average at 87.5%, and its dropout rate is slightly higher at 1.6%.

The high percentage of students (89.19%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Washington High School suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the district's spending per student is higher than the state average, the school's consistently low performance raises questions about the effective allocation of resources to support student learning and school improvement.
