Summary

Wyoming Valley West Senior High School is a public high school located in Plymouth, Pennsylvania, serving 1,404 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Wyoming Valley West School District, which is ranked 493 out of 606 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, Wyoming Valley West Senior High School has consistently underperformed academically compared to other Pennsylvania high schools. The school's performance on Keystone Exams, a set of statewide assessments, is significantly below the state average, with only 25.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 44.3%. This trend is also seen in nearby schools, such as Dallas Senior High School, where the Algebra I proficiency rate was 46.4%, and Crestwood Secondary Campus, where it was 54.1%.

While Wyoming Valley West Senior High School maintains a relatively stable four-year graduation rate of around 87% and a low dropout rate, the school's academic challenges are evident in the disparities among student subgroups. For example, in 2024-2025, the Algebra I proficiency rate for African American students at the school was 198th out of 276 Pennsylvania high schools, and for Hispanic students, it was 239th out of 287 schools. These disparities suggest a need for more equitable educational opportunities and targeted support for underperforming groups. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the student population.
