Weatherly Area School District

The Weatherly Area School District consists of three schools: Weatherly Area Elementary School, Weatherly Area High School, and Weatherly Area Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in the Weatherly area.

Weatherly Area Elementary School stands out with relatively high PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades, as well as strong PSSA Science proficiency. In contrast, Weatherly Area Middle School struggles with PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency, scoring significantly below the district and state averages. Weatherly Area High School maintains solid Keystone Exam proficiency rates, especially in Biology and Literature, and has a high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%.

The district faces economic challenges, with all three schools having relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 61.15% to 62.38%. Additionally, there are disparities in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, with the high school having the highest spending per student at $23,636 and the lowest student-teacher ratio of 9, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
