Summary:
The 18643 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Wyoming Area School District, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. While the middle school, Wyoming Area Intermediate Center, stands out for its strong academic performance, the high school, Wyoming Area Sec Center, struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below state averages. The elementary school, Wyoming Area Kindergarten Center, serves a high-need student population with 100% of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch.
The Wyoming Area Intermediate Center stands out as a relative bright spot, outperforming the district and state averages in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency across multiple grade levels. It has the highest PSSA Science proficiency rate at 72.9% and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7. In contrast, the Wyoming Area Sec Center high school struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in Math, Science, and Algebra I on the Keystone Exams.
The significant differences in academic performance and spending per student across the schools within the same district raise questions about equity and the distribution of resources. The high-need student populations at all three schools, with 99-100% of students eligible for free/reduced-price lunch, suggest the importance of early intervention and targeted support to address the academic challenges, particularly at the high school level.
