Weigelstown Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years, with a dip to a 2-star rating in 2020-2021. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 619 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 827 out of 1,433 in 2020-2021. While the school's overall performance on PSSA Math and English Language Arts assessments is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, it stands out for its stronger performance among Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who rank in the top 25-35% of Pennsylvania elementary schools. In contrast, the school's performance for male students and white students is weaker, ranking in the bottom 50% of the state.

Weigelstown Elementary School's higher spending per student, which has increased from $14,358 in 2019-2020 to $23,356 in 2022-2023, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 13.3 over the past three years, may be contributing factors to the school's success in supporting its higher-performing subgroups. Compared to nearby Dover Area Elementary School and North Salem Elementary School, Weigelstown's performance for Hispanic students and low socioeconomic status students is stronger, despite the school's overall academic outcomes being generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages.
