Wyoming Valley West School District

The Wyoming Valley West School District in Pennsylvania operates 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces challenges in academic performance, with its schools generally underperforming state averages on standardized tests. However, a few schools stand out, such as Dana Elementary Center, which outperforms the district and state in PSSA Math and English Language Arts, and Chester Street Elementary School, which has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools and also performs better than the district and state averages.

Across the district, there are significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.71% to 100%. This suggests that the district's students face significant economic hardships. Additionally, there are disparities in resource allocation, as evidenced by the variation in student-teacher ratios and per-student spending across the schools.

The Wyoming Valley West Senior High School and Wyoming Valley West Middle School have also seen their statewide School Digger rankings decline from 2 stars to 1 star over the past three years, indicating a need for improvement in overall school performance.
