Summary:
The 15370 zip code area is home to 6 schools across two school districts, Central Greene School District and West Greene School District, serving students from elementary through high school. While the elementary schools in this area generally outperform state and district averages, the middle and high schools struggle to meet these benchmarks, suggesting a need for targeted interventions at the secondary level.
The standout school in the area is West Greene Elementary Center, which ranks among the top 521 elementary schools in Pennsylvania and exceeds state and district averages in PSSA proficiency across all grade levels. However, the school also has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. In contrast, Waynesburg Central High School boasts the highest 4-year graduation rate and lowest dropout rate among the high schools, but lags behind in Keystone Exam proficiency.
The data also reveals significant disparities in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools, which may contribute to the varying levels of academic achievement. Additionally, some schools, such as Waynesburg Central Elementary School and Miller Middle School, have seen their statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings decline in recent years, indicating a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address these trends.
