Summary

Wallenpaupack Area Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Hawley, Pennsylvania, with 634 students. The school is part of the Wallenpaupack Area School District, which is ranked 195 out of 606 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wallenpaupack Area Middle School has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, reaching $25,089 in 2022-2023, its academic performance has been a concern. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math (32.9%) and PSSA English Language Arts (49%) were below the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5% respectively in 2024-2025. This trend has been consistent over the past few years. Interestingly, the school performs relatively well for its Hispanic students, ranking in the top 25% of Pennsylvania middle schools in this subgroup for the past 3 years, but its White students and students with low socioeconomic status perform below average compared to the state.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Dingman-Delaware Middle School and Western Wayne Middle School, Wallenpaupack Area Middle School performs worse on most academic metrics, including PSSA test scores and overall state rankings. This suggests the school may have room for improvement, despite its consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.
