The two elementary schools, Slatington Elementary School and Peters Elementary School, both serve a high-need student population with 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Slatington Elementary has a higher percentage of minority students compared to the high school. In contrast, Northern Lehigh Middle School stands out with smaller class sizes and stronger PSSA proficiency rates in English Language Arts than the district and state averages.
At the high school level, Northern Lehigh Senior High School has a relatively strong 90.4% four-year graduation rate, but its Keystone Exam proficiency rates are mixed, with some subjects below state averages.

Addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by the high-need student population could be a key focus for the district moving forward.
