Summary:
The 17268 zip code is home to a single high school, Waynesboro Area Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Waynesboro Area School District. While the school's performance is generally average, with some areas of strength and others needing improvement, it serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with nearly half of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Waynesboro Area Senior High School has a 87.9% four-year graduation rate, slightly above the state average, and a low 1.4% dropout rate. The school's test scores are mixed, with above-average performance in Algebra I but below-average scores in Literature. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 223rd out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to 350th out of 681 in 2024-2025, suggesting it may be underperforming compared to other high schools in the state.
Despite the school's average performance, its relatively high spending per student ($12,488) and lower student-teacher ratio (19.2) indicate that the school may have the resources to improve student outcomes. However, the data suggests that the school's demographics and resource allocation may be factors that influence its performance and should be further investigated to identify areas for improvement and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
