Williamsburg Community School District

The Williamsburg Community School District in Pennsylvania operates two schools: Williamsburg Community Elementary School and Williamsburg Community Junior/Senior High School. The elementary school has demonstrated consistent academic performance, with relatively high proficiency rates in PSSA Science and English Language Arts. In contrast, the junior/senior high school has shown strengths in PSSA Math and English Language Arts, but struggles with lower proficiency in Keystone Exams, particularly in Algebra I and Biology.

Enrollment is similar between the two schools, with the elementary school serving 236 students and the junior/senior high school serving 228 students. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, but the elementary school has a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch at 52.54%, compared to 33.77% at the junior/senior high school. This suggests potential socioeconomic differences between the two school populations, which could impact academic performance and resource allocation.

Interestingly, the junior/senior high school spends more per student ($15,827) compared to the elementary school ($13,731), and has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8:1 versus 13.6:1 at the elementary school. This resource allocation may be a factor in the junior/senior high school's stronger performance in certain areas, but the district should ensure that both schools have adequate resources to meet the needs of their respective student populations.
