While there are no clear standout schools in this area, a closer look at the available data for Wallenpaupack South Elementary School reveals some notable insights.

Wallenpaupack South Elementary School has a statewide ranking between 712 and 843 out of 1,526 to 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 and a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. The school's performance on PSSA tests is mixed, with proficiency rates in Math (46.2%) and English Language Arts (50.4%) slightly below the district and state averages, but its Science proficiency rate (82.9%) is significantly higher than the district (75.4%) and state (65.8%) averages. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 72.55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1.

The school's exceptional performance in Science and its focus on providing individualized attention to students through a low student-teacher ratio are notable strengths. However, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may present challenges that the school must address to improve overall academic performance. The school's per-student spending of $22,593, which is higher than the state average, suggests a commitment to supporting student needs, but further analysis would be needed to understand how this funding is allocated and its impact on student outcomes.
