Best High Schools in Zip Code 18643

The 18643 zip code is home to a single high school, Wyoming Area Sec Center, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it continues to provide education to a student population that faces significant economic challenges, with 100.21% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Wyoming Area Sec Center's academic performance is mixed, with math proficiency rates (18.8%) well below the district (35.9%) and state (41.7%) averages, while ELA proficiency (38.7%) is closer to, but still lags behind, the district (48.1%) and state (48.5%) levels. The school's performance on specific subject tests, such as Algebra I (39.2%), Biology (45.4%), and Literature (71.8%), also varies, with some areas meeting or exceeding district and state benchmarks, while others fall short.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2 and higher-than-average spending per student ($18,100). However, the school's leadership and community will need to work together to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the area of mathematics.
