The West Oak Lane Charter School is the sole elementary school located in the West Oak Lane area. Serving grades K-8, this school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance across all subject areas compared to state averages.
The school is ranked 1,241 out of 1,511 Pennsylvania elementary schools and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its district rank is 490 out of 606, also with a 1-star rating. Test scores at West Oak Lane Charter School are well below state averages in math (19.2% vs. 41.7%), English language arts (30% vs. 48.5%), and science. The school also has a high dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the low academic performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($21,738) compared to the state average. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the need to examine how the funds are being allocated. The school's statewide ranking has also been steadily declining over the past three years, suggesting it is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state.
