Summary:

The 18436 zip code is home to a single high school, Western Wayne High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Western Wayne School District. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it generally performs at or slightly above the state average on key metrics such as Keystone Exam proficiency and graduation rates.

Western Wayne High School has a statewide ranking that has ranged from 246 out of 681 Pennsylvania high schools in 2024-2025 to 315 out of 674 in 2022-2023, with a current 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 87.9%, slightly above the state average, and its dropout rate was a relatively low 1.4%. Academically, the school outperformed the state average on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.

However, the school serves a student population with a high percentage (51.02%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges. Despite this, the school district's spending per student for 2022-2023 was $30,075, higher than the state average. This suggests a commitment to investing in the education of its students, though further analysis would be needed to understand how these funds are being allocated and their impact on student outcomes.
