Wallenpaupack South Elementary School has maintained a consistent statewide ranking between 640 and 843 out of 1,511 to 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past three school years. The school's performance on PSSA tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) both above and below the state and district averages.
