Summary:
The 18255 zip code area is home to three schools in the Weatherly Area School District: Weatherly Area Elementary School, Weatherly Area Senior High School, and Weatherly Area Middle School. These schools serve students from elementary through high school, with a predominantly white student population and a significant economically disadvantaged student population.
Weatherly Area Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates in PSSA tests, particularly in Science. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 may contribute to its success. In contrast, Weatherly Area Middle School struggles with PSSA Math proficiency, an area that the district may need to address. Weatherly Area Senior High School stands out for its high graduation rate and strong performance on Keystone Exams, particularly in Biology and Literature.
The high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, ranging from 53.9% to 61.9%, suggest that the district may need to provide targeted support and resources to address the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Additionally, the significant drop in enrollment from the elementary school to the middle and high school levels indicates potential challenges with student retention and transitions between school levels, which the district may need to investigate further.
