Whitehall-Coplay School District

The Whitehall-Coplay School District in Pennsylvania consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, but there are some standout performers, such as Zephyr Elementary School, which has consistently high test scores, particularly in science.

While Whitehall High School has a lower ranking compared to other Pennsylvania high schools, it has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.6%. Additionally, George D Steckel Elementary School has strong math and English language arts test scores. The district's schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 13.0 to 15.9, which could be a positive factor for student learning.

However, the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 84.65% at Whitehall High School to 100% at the three elementary schools and Whitehall-Coplay Middle School. This raises concerns about equity and the resources available to support these students. The district-wide test scores in math and English language arts are generally below the state averages, suggesting room for improvement in these core academic areas.
