Summary:
Lehigh Valley Dual Language Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Lehigh Valley Dual Language Charter School district. Serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade, this school faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low performance and ranking compared to other Pennsylvania elementary schools.
According to the data, Lehigh Valley Dual Language Charter School is ranked 1237 out of 1526 Pennsylvania elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels, with only 16.9% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 40.4%. The school's science proficiency rates are also lower than the state, with 40% proficient or better compared to the state's 65.8%. Additionally, the school had a 1.6% dropout rate in the 2022-2023 school year, which is concerning.
The data also reveals that 99.34% of students at Lehigh Valley Dual Language Charter School were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high-poverty student population. This socioeconomic challenge likely contributes to the school's persistent struggle to improve student outcomes. While the school spent $14,934 per student in the 2021-2022 school year and had a student-teacher ratio of 18.2 in the 2022-2023 school year, these factors have not been sufficient to overcome the significant academic and resource challenges faced by the school.
