School Overview

Washington Elementary sits in the heart of Allentown, a city that's seen real investment and renewal in recent years, and the school reflects the tight-knit, working-class character of the surrounding neighborhoods. Families here are deeply rooted in the community, and the school serves a population that brings a lot of cultural richness to the classroom. Those looking for a more comfortable academic environment may want to weigh the school's performance numbers carefully, as Washington faces some of the steeper challenges common to urban schools in Pennsylvania's third-largest city.
