Summary:
Weatherly Area School District has a single high school, Weatherly Area High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 207th and 386th out of Pennsylvania high schools in recent years. While the school's four-year graduation rate is slightly lower than the state average, its dropout rate is slightly higher.
Academically, Weatherly Area High School performs better in Biology than in Algebra I and Literature compared to state averages. The school's proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams have varied, with Biology scores exceeding the state average but Algebra I and Literature scores falling below. The school's high free and reduced-price lunch rate suggests it serves a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Despite the Weatherly Area School District spending significantly more per student than the state average, this high spending does not appear to be directly translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. This could indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the district's resource allocation and spending priorities to better support the needs of Weatherly Area High School's student population.
