Summary:
The city of New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is home to two schools: Redbank Valley High School and Redbank Valley Primary School. These schools serve a predominantly white and economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Redbank Valley High School stands out for its relatively high four-year graduation rate of 88.1%, which exceeds the state average. The school also performs well on Keystone Exams, with 65.2% proficiency in Biology and 66% proficiency in Literature, surpassing state averages. However, the school's overall PSSA and Keystone Exam scores are generally below the state averages, suggesting room for improvement in academic performance.
In contrast, Redbank Valley Primary School has a unique funding allocation, with higher per-student spending ($19,544) compared to the high school ($17,536), which is unusual for an elementary school. Additionally, the primary school serves an even more economically disadvantaged population, with 100% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Unfortunately, the primary school does not have any available data on academic performance, making it difficult to assess the overall academic standing of the district.
