Summary

Washington Intrmd School is an elementary school located in New Castle, Pennsylvania, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 706 students. The school is part of the New Castle Area School District, which is ranked 509 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Intrmd School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts significantly below the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 28.5% in Math and 24.1% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance is also below the New Castle Area School District average. However, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Luther W Low Elementary School, Laurel Elementary School, and Neshannock Memorial Elementary School, perform significantly better academically, with proficiency rates well above the state averages.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $16,167 in 2019-2020 to $18,655 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The district's low ranking and 1-star rating suggest that there may be broader systemic issues within the New Castle Area School District that need to be addressed, such as curriculum, teacher quality, or resource allocation.
