Summary:
The Wyalusing Area School District has one elementary school, Wyalusing Valley Elementary School, which serves students in the Wyalusing area. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 749th out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 821st out of 1,511 in 2024-2025.
Wyalusing Valley Elementary School's proficiency rates on PSSA tests in Math (46.1%) and English Language Arts (44.1%) were slightly below the state averages in 2024-2025, but the school's 4th grade Math proficiency rate (38%) was significantly lower than the state average of 50.6%. However, the school's 4th grade Science proficiency rate in 2023-2024 was 85.4%, which was higher than the state average of 77.1%. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (99.54% in 2023-2024) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 in 2023-2024.
Overall, while Wyalusing Valley Elementary School's performance is close to the state averages in some areas, the significantly lower 4th grade Math proficiency rate is a concern. The school's high poverty levels and relatively high per-student spending of $16,891 suggest that it is making efforts to support its students, but further analysis and comparison to other schools in the region could provide additional insights into the school's strengths and areas for improvement.
