Among the standout schools in the district is Eastern Lebanon County Senior High School, which is ranked 189 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools and has a 4-star rating. The high school boasts a relatively high graduation rate of 89.1% and strong academic performance, with over 50% of students proficient in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. In contrast, the Eastern Lebanon County Middle School struggles with math proficiency, with only 10.4% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the PSSA Math exam.
The district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state. This suggests a need for a comprehensive review of the district's educational strategies and resource allocation. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels, indicate that the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the academic underperformance observed.
