Summary

Weatherly Area High School is a public high school located in Weatherly, Pennsylvania, serving 155 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Weatherly Area School District, which is ranked 374 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Weatherly Area High School has maintained a consistent performance over the years, with a relatively high four-year graduation rate ranging from 87.5% to 88.8%, and low dropout rates between 0.0% and 1.6%. However, the school's academic performance on the Keystone Exams has been mixed, with the school outperforming the state average in Biology and Literature but underperforming in Algebra I compared to the state and nearby schools like Crestwood Secondary Campus and Palmerton Area High School. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.61% to 61.94%, is also higher than the nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Weatherly Area High School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $20,805 to $23,636 in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools. This suggests that the school may be allocating significant resources to support its students, though there is still room for improvement in academic achievement across the board, particularly for certain student subgroups. Overall, Weatherly Area High School appears to be a school with a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, working to support its students in a high-poverty community.
