Summary:
The Wilson School District in Pennsylvania is home to 5 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools have shown varying levels of academic performance, with some standouts that have consistently outperformed their peers and the state average.
Whitfield Elementary School is a standout, consistently ranking among the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 3 years. It has outperformed the district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency across all grades, while also spending the least amount per student compared to the other schools in the district. In contrast, Shiloh Hills Elementary School has achieved the highest proficiency rates in PSSA English Language Arts across all grades, but has the second-highest spending per student in the district.
The data also reveals that schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Spring Ridge Elementary School and Cornwall Terrace Elementary School, generally had lower proficiency rates compared to schools with lower free/reduced lunch rates, like Whitfield Elementary School and Green Valley Elementary School. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student outcomes, though other factors beyond just funding also seem to contribute to the schools' performance.
