Summary:
The Wilson Area School District in Pennsylvania has only one high school, Wilson Area High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 197th out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 341st out of 681 in 2024-2025. While the school's performance on the Keystone Exams is mixed, with above-average proficiency rates in Literature but below-average rates in Algebra I and Biology, its four-year graduation rate of 87.9% is slightly below the state average.
Wilson Area High School has a student population of 729 and a relatively high percentage of students (51.44%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is slightly higher than the state average. The district's per-student spending for the 2022-2023 school year was $15,836, which is higher than the state average.
The declining performance of Wilson Area High School is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. The school's mixed academic performance suggests a need to focus on improving its math and science instruction. Additionally, the high percentage of students from low-income families may present challenges that the school is working to address through its resource allocation and support systems. Overall, the data provides a snapshot of the school's performance and characteristics, but more context would be needed to fully understand its strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement.
