Wyoming Valley West School District

The Wyoming Valley West School District consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Wyoming Valley region. The district as a whole is ranked 493 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Among the district's schools, Dana Elementary Center and Chester Street Elementary School stand out, with higher proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. These two elementary schools also outperform the district and state on PSSA test scores, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. In contrast, the district's other schools, such as State Elementary Center and Wyoming Valley West Middle School, struggle with lower test scores and proficiency rates.

The data also reveals significant disparities in resources and spending across the district's schools, with per-student spending ranging from $8,983 at State Elementary Center to $58,337 at Third Avenue Elementary School. Additionally, all schools in the district have very high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which likely contributes to the overall underperformance of the district compared to state averages.
