“We at West Oak Lane Charter School are pleased
and proud to be completing our ninth year of operation. In that time
the school has expanded to include kindergarten through eighth
grades, and we have increased our enrollment to almost 700 students.
We have enhanced the school’s facility to include bright,
comfortable classroom spaces, a computer lab equipped with state of
the art hardware, and a well designed science lab. We have also
built the Kathleen Odoms Library which has a sizeable collection of
diverse books and research materials as well as computer access.
In each of the last two years we have achieved AYP by
improving the overall performance of our students and reducing the
percentage of students scoring below proficient on the Pennsylvania System
of School Assessment (PSSA). Our plans are to do even better.
Our charter has been renewed for another five year term. And our new
administrative team has set its sights on moving WOLCS from Good to Great.”
