Whitehall-Coplay School District

The Whitehall-Coplay School District in Pennsylvania operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino and African American representation, and faces socioeconomic challenges as evidenced by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools, Whitehall High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate and strong performance in Keystone Exams for Literature, though it struggles with Algebra I proficiency. Zephyr Elementary School also impresses, outperforming the district and state averages in PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments and boasting the lowest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools.

However, the district faces academic performance disparities, with the middle and high school struggling, particularly in Math, compared to the generally stronger performance of the elementary schools. The declining SchoolDigger ratings for Whitehall High School and Whitehall-Coplay Middle School suggest a need for the district to address the factors contributing to the declining performance and reputation of these schools. Overall, the Whitehall-Coplay School District must focus on addressing the socioeconomic challenges and academic performance gaps to ensure the success of all its students.
