Summary:
The city of Ford City, Pennsylvania is home to two schools - Lenape Elementary School and Lenape Technical. Lenape Elementary serves a high-poverty student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, while Lenape Technical boasts an impressive 96.9% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average.
Lenape Elementary School stands out for its lack of racial diversity, with 95.03% of students identifying as white, well above the state average. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above district and state averages on PSSA tests, while others fall below. Lenape Elementary also has the highest student-teacher ratio among the Armstrong School District elementary schools, which could be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
In contrast, Lenape Technical has a more diverse student population, with 94.32% of students identifying as white. While the school's Keystone Exam scores are below the state average in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature, its exceptional graduation rate and low dropout rate suggest it is effectively supporting students and helping them complete their high school education.
