The city of Hummelstown, Pennsylvania is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area demonstrate strong academic performance, with Lower Dauphin High School consistently ranking among the top high schools in the state and Lower Dauphin Middle School also performing well above average.
Lower Dauphin High School stands out as the flagship school in the Lower Dauphin School District, with impressive academic outcomes including a 94.4% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on state assessments. In contrast, Price, the smallest school in the district with only 14 students, spends significantly more per student than the other schools, raising questions about resource allocation and the unique needs of this particular school.
Overall, the schools in Hummelstown demonstrate a commitment to education, with low student-teacher ratios and a predominantly white student population. However, the district may benefit from examining the disparities in free and reduced lunch rates across the schools to ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students.
