Wyoming Area Sec Center

Summary:

Wyoming Area Sec Center is a public high school serving 953 students in grades 7-12 in Exeter, Pennsylvania. The school's student population is predominantly White (82.9%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (9.44%), African American (4.3%), and Asian (1.36%) students.

Academically, Wyoming Area Sec Center has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 14.3% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school's performance on Keystone Exams is also below the state average, with just 2.1% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, 36.7% in Biology, and 59.7% in Literature. However, the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 89.3% to 94.9% over the past five years, and a low dropout rate of 0.2% to 0.6%. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 99.37% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

However, Wyoming Area Sec Center's graduation rate is comparable to or higher than some of the nearby schools, such as West Scranton High School and Wyoming Valley West Senior High School. Unlike some nearby schools, such as Wilkes-Barre Area School District STEM Academy, Wyoming Area Sec Center does not appear to have any notable specialized programs or academies.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
