High Schools in Washington School District


Summary:

The Washington School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Washington High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance and student outcomes that lag behind state and district averages.

Washington High School's proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams are lower than the state averages in core subjects like Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 85.2% is also below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.6% is higher. These academic and student outcome issues are compounded by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 89.19% of the student body eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the district's higher-than-average spending per student ($20,219) and relatively small class sizes (12.3 student-teacher ratio), the school's performance remains below expectations. This suggests that the district and school leadership may need to closely examine the root causes of these challenges and develop targeted strategies to improve student achievement, graduation rates, and overall school performance.
